This is also called the law of purity of gametes. According to this law, the gametes are pure for a particular trait. This is because the alleles of a pair separate during gamete formation and again come together after fertilization. Therefore, in each gamete..

Meiosis is a cell division occurs in reproductive cells (gametes). The male gamete is known as the sperm in animals and the female gamete is known as the ovum (egg..

It involves the formation of haploid gametes from diploid cells by the process of meiosis in the gona..

During the formation of gametes, the females will have only one type of gametes, all with one X chromosome. However, the males will produce two types of gametes or sperms, half with X chromosome and half with Y chromosome. Thus the sex of a zygote is determined by whic..

Here motile gametes called planogametes undergo fusion. When both the gametes are motile and morphologically similar, the fusion process is called isogamy. Eg.: Synchytrium When both the gametes are motile but differ in their size, the fusion process is called an..

Sexual reproduction is seen in nearly all animals. In animals reproduction also involves production of gametes that are haploid cells. In unicellular organisms like the protozoans, the gamete-producing individuals are called gametocytes. The gametes may be simila..

Sexual reproduction is seen in nearly all animals. In animals reproduction involves production of gametes that are . The gametes may be similar - isogametes or heterogametes...

Here, gamete bearing structures called gametangia come closer to each other and develop a fertilisation tube through which the male gamete migrates into the female gametangium. Eg. : Phytophthora, Albu..
