A female's gamete is called an egg cell (scientific name: ovum). It contains a random selection of the mother's alleles for each gene. During fertilisation, the egg cell and the male's gamete (the sperm cell) fuse, resulting in a complete set of genetic information, enabling the fertilised egg cell to develop into a baby.

Where do conifers produce gametes?
Conifers produce gametes within their cones.
Does the skin produce gametes?
No, However humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis.
What do you call an organ the produces gametes?
The testes in males and the ovaries in females produce gametes.
Are gametes haploid offspring haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis. They unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which divides to form the embryo, and is the first cell of the new offspring of the organisms that produced the gametes. For example, human females produce ova, the female gametes, and human males produce sperm cells, the male gametes. During fertilization, one ovum and one sperm cell unite to form a zygote which divides by mitotic cell division, forming the embryo. The baby that is produced is not considered an offspring of the gametes, but an offspring of the mother and father that produced it.
What is fertiization?
It is the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism.
What kind of cells do germ cells produce?
gametes
Where do conifers produce gametes?
Conifers produce gametes within their cones.
Cells undergo meiosis to produce what kind of cells?
cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes which are also called your "sex" cells
Does the skin produce gametes?
No, However humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis.
What does the scrotum have to do with gametes?
the scrotum contains the testes, which produce gametes
How plants make their gametes?
plant produce gametes through meiosis
What process is gametes produce from?
meiosis
Where do gamete produce?
Conifers produce gametes within their cones.
Can an organism with a Gg genotype produce gametes with either the dominant or recessive allele in equal amounts?
Yes. Remember that a heterozygote can produce two types of gametes. In this case, the unknown would produce gametes with the dominant allele A or the recessive allele a. The homozygous recessive would still only produce one kind gamete, with the recessive a allele. Therefore, we expect to see only two genotypes in the F1, Aa and aa, in equal proportions.
What do you call an organ the produces gametes?
The testes in males and the ovaries in females produce gametes.
What do the germ-line cells produce?
gametes
A homozygous dominant parent will produce a gamete with?
They will produce gametes that are also homozygous.
