Here's a breakdown:
Male Reproductive System:
* Sperm: The male gamete, produced in the testes. Sperm are small, motile cells designed to fertilize an egg.
Female Reproductive System:
* Egg (Oocyte): The female gamete, produced in the ovaries. Eggs are larger and non-motile, waiting to be fertilized by a sperm.
Both sperm and eggs are haploid, meaning they contain only half the number of chromosomes found in other body cells. This is essential for sexual reproduction, as the fusion of a sperm and an egg creates a diploid zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
