What are 2 kinds of sex cells that a gametophyte produces?
sperm cell and egg cells
Who is Albrecht Von Roelliker?
He realised that sperm and egg cells were also cells
What is a sperm or egg?
Sperm and egg cells are gametes, or reproductive cells. The sperm is the male reproductive cell. The egg is the female reproductive cell.
Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?
All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
What word also means sperm and egg cells?
Sperm cells and egg cells named together are called gametes.
Does a plant spend part of its life producing sperm and egg cells?
No, a plant does not even produce sperm and egg cells.
What is the importance of producing haploid egg and sperm cells at the end of meiosis?
It is important because the gamete needs to have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs. If the sperm and egg both contributed 46 chromosomes, then the cell would have 92 chromosomes.
How cell replication?
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
Why do sperm cells fail to unite with egg cells?
because the sperm cells fail to find the egg cells or the sperm isn't good to unite with the egg

Do flowers reproduce through mitosis?
Flowering plants can reproduce through mitotic cell division, or asexual reproduction. However, the flowers are the sexual reproductive organs, producing egg cells and sperm cells. Egg cells are found in the ovary of a flower, and the sperm cells are found in the pollen. Therefore, flowering plants also undergo sexual reproduction when a sperm cell reaches an egg cell.
What 2 cells created you?
A sperm and an egg.
How can you use sperm and egg in the same sentence?

Is the union of egg and sperm mitosis or meiosis?
Neither. The union of a sperm and egg is called fertilization. Both sperm and egg cells are sex cells that are produced through meiosis.
