E) a reproductive cell, such as an unfertilized egg or sperm.
Pollination
A)not sexual
B)to add pollen to the female organ of a flower
C)a reproductive cell, such as an unfertilized egg
D)a long, tubular organ, like a tongue, used for sucking
E)an unborn, developing plant or animal
B) to add pollen to the female organ of a flower.
The correct answer is E) a reproductive cell, such as an unfertilized egg.
To determine the answer, we can examine the different options provided and eliminate the ones that do not match the definition of a gamete.
Option A) "An unborn, developing plant or animal": This does not match the definition of a gamete. A gamete refers to a mature reproductive cell, not an unborn, developing organism.
Option B) "A long, tubular organ, like a tongue, used for sucking": This does not match the definition of a gamete either. A gamete is not an organ or a body part used for sucking.
Option C) "Not sexual": This is incorrect. Gametes are sexual reproductive cells that are involved in sexual reproduction. They are created through a process called meiosis, which involves the division of cells to produce cells with half the usual number of chromosomes.
Option D) "To add pollen to the female organ of a flower": This is incorrect as well. This option describes the process of pollination, which is not specifically related to gametes.
Option E) "A reproductive cell, such as an unfertilized egg": This is the correct answer. Gametes can include both sperm cells (in males) and egg cells (in females). They are the specialized cells responsible for fertilization and the formation of a new organism.
In summary, the correct answer is E) a reproductive cell, such as an unfertilized egg.
