A female gamete is a/an
A. ovary. C. ovum.
B. zygote. D. uterus.
(B) I know that gamete is an egg or cell.
zygote is a cell to right?
Wrong!
C is the correct answer.
I'm confused...
I found it. An egg in the ovary of the female. This egg is called the female "gamete" or sex cell.
Ovum is the female egg produced by the ovary.
You are correct. The ovum is called the female 'gamete' or sex cell.
Answer to your previous question, 'zygote is a cell too right?'
Yes, All human beings start as a single cell, the zygote
Ovum
Yes, you are correct! A zygote is indeed a cell. However, when it comes to the female gamete specifically, the correct answer is C. ovum.
To understand this, let's break it down:
A. Ovary: The ovary is an organ found in females that produces eggs or ova. While the ovaries are involved in the production of female gametes, they themselves are not the gametes.
B. Zygote: A zygote is formed when the male gamete (sperm) fertilizes the female gamete (ovum). It is the resulting cell after fertilization, rather than a female gamete.
C. Ovum: The ovum, also known as an egg, is the female gamete. It is a specialized reproductive cell that is produced by the ovaries. When fertilized by a sperm, it can develop into a zygote.
D. Uterus: The uterus is an organ in the female reproductive system where a fertilized ovum implants and develops into an embryo and fetus. While the uterus plays a crucial role in reproduction, it is not a female gamete itself.
So, in summary, the correct answer is C. ovum, which refers to the female gamete. The zygote is formed by the fusion of the ovum and a sperm.
