The human gametes are the sperm cell (male) and the egg cell (female).

The chromosomes carried by the sperm cell can have two forms, the X cell (female offspring) or the Y cell (male offspring). These combine with the egg cell, which virtually always carries only an X chromosome. So an XX cell would develop as a female, and an XY cell would result in a male offspring.
