Gametes come from both the mother and the father. The mother's gamete is known as an egg and the father's gamete is known as a sperm.

What is ferilization?

The act or process of initiating biological reproduction by insemination or pollination. The union of male and female reproductive cells (gametes) to produce a fertilized reproductive cell (zygote). Fusion of a sperm cell with an egg cell to produce a zygote when the female sex cell (egg) and the male sex cell (sperm) come in contact. the joining of a sperm and an egg The fusion of the male sex cell with the female sex cell to form an embryo is called fertilisation. The fusion of an egg and sperm to form a zygote


What is the name of male sex cell in animals?

In animals it would be called a sperm. In plants I assume the answer would be the pollen, however, the pollen is not necessarily one cell. Even if it is one cell it will have more than one nucleus (2 or 3).


What are the different types of sex cells?

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.


What sperm cells are released from the male and are implanted in the female?

Only one sperm cell fertilizes the female egg during sexual reproduction. The sperm cell contains genetic material from the male that combines with genetic material from the female to form a new individual.


What is the opposite of a male germ cell?

The opposite of male germ cell is female germ cell.

Is the female reproductive cell able to reproduce without a male reproductive cell?

No , it is not possible to produce a baby's cell ( zygote ) without a male reproductive cell ( sperm ) to fertilise it .But a female's reproductive cell ( egg ) can be produced without a sperm .It is possible to transfer a sperm into the ovum of a female through a surgery .
