The sex cell for a woman is called the ovum(egg) and the cell for a man is called the sperm. Each sex cell contains half a strand of DNA(one chromozome). The two chromozomes combine to make a full set of DNA. XXchromozomes=girl. XYchromozomes=boy. The sperm's chromozome determines what gender the baby will be because females only have X and males have both X and Y.
Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.

Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘

TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
So they can produce healthy offspring.
reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.
increase genetic diversity
Each sex cell contributes half the number of chromosomes compared to body cells during fertilization. This results in the offspring having the full set of chromosomes, one set from each parent, which is essential for normal development and growth.
Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
sexual. sexual reproduction.
No, because they need to have 2parents help contribute to form the offspring cell.
