What are the two types of gametes?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for information about the types of gametes, which are the reproductive cells involved in sexual reproduction. There are typically two main types: male gametes (sperm) and female gametes (ova or eggs).

Answer

ova (egg cells) and sperm

The female gamete is called the ovum or egg cell, and the male gamete is called the sperm.

Answer for screen readers

The female gamete is called the ovum or egg cell, and the male gamete is called the sperm.

More Information

In animals, gametes are haploid cells, meaning they contain only one set of chromosomes. During fertilization, these cells combine to form a diploid organism.

Tips

Do not confuse gametes (sex cells) with somatic cells, which are diploid and make up most of the body's tissues.
