a sex cell that is not ready to be fertilized or developed.
If the immature sex cell contains 18 chromosomes, the mature sex cell will contain 18 chromosomes as well. This is because during the process of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half to produce haploid sex cells.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
The mature female sex cell is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube for possible fertilization.
A haploid cell produced by meiosis—APEX
A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.

The mature female sex cell is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube for possible fertilization.
During oogenesis, one primary sex cell produces one mature egg (ovum) along with three polar bodies, resulting in a total of four gametes. In contrast, during spermatogenesis, one primary sex cell produces four mature sperm cells (spermatozoa), resulting in a total of four gametes.
The formation of the female sex cell or egg occurs in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. Oogenesis involves the maturation of primordial germ cells in the ovary into mature eggs or ova.

mitosis
Each cell would be half the size of a mature cell that's ready to undergo mitosis. After all, mitosis is a process that literally splits a mature cell in two.
The specialized sex cell in a female is called an ovum, or egg cell. Each ovum is produced in the ovaries and contains half the genetic material necessary for fertilization. During ovulation, a mature ovum is released and can be fertilized by a sperm cell, leading to the formation of a zygote. The ovum is typically larger than sperm cells and plays a crucial role in reproduction.
18...because after 18 your are mature and can have SEX, pick your nose without asking parents, eat fish, and juggle. What is it with having SEX? Having SEX has NOTHING to do with being mature.
