A female's gamete is called an egg cell (scientific name: ovum). It contains a random selection of the mother's alleles for each gene. During fertilisation, the egg cell and the male's gamete (the sperm cell) fuse, resulting in a complete set of genetic information, enabling the fertilised egg cell to develop into a baby.
