Both gametes, sperm and egg, are formed by meiosis which is a type of sexual reproduction. Male gametes, sperm, is slightly smaller and has a tadpole shape to it and also is very mobile and produced by tons, but female gametes, egg, are larger, less mobile, and there are not so many eggs as sperm.

What system provides gametes?

The reproductive system provides gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females). These gametes are essential for sexual reproduction and the formation of offspring.


How is the formation of gamete in males similar to the formation of gamete in females?

female gametes form to the right of the wall of chromosomes, whereas the gametes in males, form to the left and in the middle of the wall. they are similar in the sperm, but unalike in egg


What do you call an organ the produces gametes?

The testes in males and the ovaries in females produce gametes.


What best describes the daughter cells produced by meiosis?

Collectively they are called gametes. Separately they're called sperm in males and eggs in females.

Is male gametes larger than females gametes?

Hardly. In mammals, for instance, the sperm of males is dwarfed by the egg of the female.


Where are gametes produced in fish and frogs?

In fish, gametes are produced in the gonads; specifically, ovaries for eggs in females and testes for sperm in males. In frogs, gametes are also produced in the gonads, with females producing eggs in their ovaries and males producing sperm in their testes. Both species typically release their gametes into the water for external fertilization.


What are reproductive organs that produced gametes in both males and females called?

That would be the Gonads.


What are the number of gametes made in males?

Gametes are cells that each have half of the normal chromosomes of the individual they belong to. The reason for this is that during reproduction, the chromosomes in each of the gametes add together to create a full set of chromosomes. Each half a set of chromosomes comes from a different person, which is why sexual reproduction produces offspring with mixed and different traits than their parents. The gametes in males are sperm, and the gametes in females are ova(egg cells). I hope this helped out ;)


Where does the production of gametes take place?

The production of gametes, such as sperm in males and eggs in females, takes place in the gonads. In males, sperm is produced in the testes, while in females, eggs are produced in the ovaries through the process of gametogenesis.
