What is a gamete?

A

A reproductive cell having the haploid number of chromosomes, especially a mature sperm or egg capable of fusing with a gamete of the opposite sex to produce the fertilized egg.

60
Q

What are the three points of the cell theory?

A

All organisms are composed of cells. Cells are the smallest living things. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
