The sex cell for a woman is called the ovum(egg) and the cell for a man is called the sperm. Each sex cell contains half a strand of DNA(one chromozome). The two chromozomes combine to make a full set of DNA. XXchromozomes=girl. XYchromozomes=boy. The sperm's chromozome determines what gender the baby will be because females only have X and males have both X and Y.
Each sex cell will contribute half of the genetic material needed to produce offspring. The egg from the female will contribute one set of chromosomes, while the sperm from the male will contribute the other set. These combined chromosomes will determine the genetic traits of the offspring.

Half the number of chromosomes in body cells😜😘
Yes, certain species of insects, such as ants and cockroaches, produce a substance called "insect milk." This milk-like substance is a secretion from the brood cells of the insects and is rich in nutrients like protein and fats, which are essential for the growth and development of their offspring.
Because internal fertilization requires a womb and placenta to protect and nourish the growing embryos - which limits the number of offspring the mother can produce. Laying eggs outside the body means the female can potentially produce many more off-spring, and thus vastly increase the chances of the species survival.

Each sex cell contributes half the number of chromosomes compared to body cells during fertilization. This results in the offspring having the full set of chromosomes, one set from each parent, which is essential for normal development and growth.
TO PRODUCE SEX CELLS involved in the production of offspring
Yes.
Unlike asexual reproduction, two different cells are needed, that are haploid cells, for sexual reproduction. These haploid cells are gametes, and allow half of the maternal cell and half of the paternal cell to combine and produce a unique offspring. This combination also allows crossing over to occur and produce even more of a variation from the parents.
So they can produce healthy offspring.
reproductive cells. Only mutations in germ cells, which are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, can be inherited.
