What Is a Gamete?

Gametes are mature cells produced by the reproductive system during sexual reproduction of an organism, referred to as germ cells. Gametes are divided into male gametes and female gametes. Female gametes of animals and plants are usually called egg cells (ova, or eggs), and male gametes are called sperm (sperm). Sperm are quite small, but they can move and enter the egg cells in the shape of a ridge, and the egg cells are quite large and immobile, such as the sea urchin's egg cells are 10,000 times the volume of sperm cells. Although the male and female gametes are different in size, they provide the same amount of nuclear DNA to their offspring, that is, one set of genomes each. However, due to the large size of the egg cells, the cytoplasmic structure and cytoplasmic DNA of the progeny cells are basically provided by the egg cells.

Gamete occupies a very important position in biocomputing. Through the genetic map, you can clearly observe the gene flow and the progeny genotype.

.

The relationship between the number of gamet formations of the offspring and the logarithm of the relative traits included in the cross is 2 to the power of n (n is the logarithm of relative traits)

When organisms form gametes, pairs of genetic factors separate from each other and enter different gametes. Gametes contain only one of each genetic factor.

During fertilization, the combination of male and female gametes is random.

Due to the diversity of gametes formed by meiosis, the chromosome composition is diverse, which results in differences in the genetic material of different gametes, coupled with the randomness of the egg cell and sperm binding during fertilization, and the offspring of the same parent must present diversity.
