A gamete is, by definition, a single cell.
In animals a male gamete is called a spermatozoon (plural spermatozoa), or simply sperm or sperm cell. A female gamete is an ovum (pl ova), or unfertilized egg. (A fertilized egg is a zygote.)
In lower plants, such as mosses and ferns, the male gamete may be called a sperm or an antherozoid.
In flowering plants, the male gamete is a nucleus within the pollen grain.

What is Hypothesis that a gamete receives only one member of a pair of genes?
The hypothesis that a gamete receives only one member of a pair of genes is known as Mendel's law of segregation. This principle states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for each gene segregate independently from each other. This explains how genetic diversity is generated in offspring.
True or false a gamete must contain one complete set of genes?
A gamete contains half the number of genes that the other body cells do.
When an organism produces its own gametes those two sets of genes must be separated from each other so that each gamete contains just one set of genes?
This separation of genes into single sets is achieved through the process of meiosis, a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material before being separated into different cells, each containing a single set of genes. This ensures that each gamete receives a unique combination of genes.
What principle states that during gamete formation genes for different separate without influencing each others inheritance?
principle of independent assortment
What is the gamete that contains genes contributed only by the father?
the sperm cell

Does a gamete only receive one allele or another from a pair?
A gamete receives one of two genes from one parent and one of two genes from the other parent.
How many copies of each gene are in a gamete?
One.
What principle states that gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other's inheritance?
principle of independent assortment
What principle states that during gamete formation genes for different separate without influencing each others inheritance?
principle of independent assortment
The gamete that contains genes contributed only by the mother?
The egg is the gamete produced by the female.
How many autosomal are present in each human gamete?
There are 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.There are 22 autosomes that are present in each human gamete.
What is the gamete that contains genes contributed only by the father?
the sperm cell
Allels separate from each other so that each gamete carries a single copy of a gene in what?
Linked genes are genes for different traits that are on the same chromosome do not assort independently. Therefore most of the time they move together during Meiosis one instead of separating from each other
What principle states that during gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other and inheritance?
The principle of independent assortment states that genes for different traits assort independently of one another during gamete formation. This principle was formulated by Gregor Mendel in his experiments with pea plants and is one of the fundamental principles of genetics.
