gametes are produced by a special kind of cell division called meiosis. Meiosis produces ova (eggs) in women and sperm in men. Gametes have half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid number) - 23 chromosomes in human egg or sperm cells.

For just the female gamete, the egg cell goes through the process of 'Oogenesis', which produces one female gamete and three polar bodies.
