A gamete is a sex cell and is involved in reproduction. Gametes are HAPLOID, meaning they contain only half of the genetic information of diploid cells.
In animals -
The female gametes are eggs and are produced in the ovaries.
The male gamete is sperm and is produced in the testes.
Fertilisation is when the nuclei of 2haploidgametes fuse together to form a diploidzygote, which divides to form an embryo.
In plants:
The female gametes are eggs/ovules and are produced in the ovary.
The male gamete is pollen and is produced in the anther.
