What is another word for Gametes?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈamiːts] (IPA) 
Gametes are reproductive cells that combine during fertilization to form a zygote. In biology, gametes can be referred to by different terms that highlight their role in reproduction. The male gametes, or sperm cells, are also known as spermatozoa or spermatozoids. The female gametes, or egg cells, may be called ovum, ova, or oocytes. In plants, the male gamete is called a pollen grain, and the female gamete is called an embryo sac. There are also specialized types of gametes, such as parthenotes, which are unfertilized egg cells that can still develop into embryos, and germ cells, which are early-stage cells that can divide and differentiate into gametes.
