Gamete (Anthromorphemics)

A sex cell produced by meiosis that contains one copy of a chromosome set (twenty-three chromosomes in humans). In a bisexual animal the sex cell is either a sperm or an ovum.

Gamete (Anthropology)

A sex cell produced by meiosis that contains one copy of a chromosome set (twenty-three chromosomes in humans). In a bisexual animal the sex cell is either a sperm or an ovum.

Gamete (Dairy Production)

A cell possessing half the number of chromosomes characteristic of a species, such as a mature egg or sperm, capable of fertilization to produce an embryo.

Gamete (Evolution)

Haploid reproductive cells that combine at fertilization to form the zygote, called sperm (or pollen) in males and eggs in females.

Gamete (Fertility)

A reproductive cell; the sperm in men, the egg in women

Gamete (Fossils)

Haploid reproductive cells that combine at fertilization to form the zygote, called sperm (or pollen) in males and eggs in females.

Gamete (Genetics)

Sperm and eggs. These cells have the special property of carrying only one copy of each gene instead the two copies that most other cells carry. These cells contribute to the next generation and are also called “germ line” cells.

Gamete (Genetics and Genealogy)

A mature germ sex cell (sperm or ovum/egg cell) possessing a haploid chromosome set (23 for humans) and capable of initiating formation of a new individual by fusion with another gamete, i.e., the union of the sperm and egg cell. See Sex Chromosome, Haploid, and Zygote.

Gamete (Genome)

Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans).

Gamete (Microbiology)

Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans).

Gamete (Physical Geography)

A haploid reproductive cell.

Gamete (Sex)

A generic term for a sex cell; an ovum or sperm.

Gamete (Sexual Health)

The reproductive cell — egg or sperm.
