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 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.

Both species typically release their gametes into the water for external fertilization.
