Eggs are a type of gamete, specifically the female gamete in sexually reproducing organisms. Gametes are specialized reproductive cells that unite during fertilization to form a new organism. In humans and many other species, the male gamete is the sperm, while the female gamete is the egg (ovum). Together, these gametes carry genetic information from both parents to the offspring.
