Gametes are reproductive cells or sex cells.
The male gamete is sperm, the female gamete is ova or eggs.
Haploid cells are sperm and ova and have 23 chromosomes.
Haploid cells reproduce using MEIOSOS and result in unique cells than may one day become humans. Meiosis takes one diploid cell and rpoduces 4 haploid cells.
Diploid cells are body cells like blood cells and skin cells and have 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46.
Diploid cells reproduce using MITOSIS and result in 2 exact replicas or identical cells.
