A reproductive cell (male (sperm) or female (egg)) that has only half the usual number of chromosomes.The root of the word gamete is Greek gamein, to marry or join.

Reproductive cells of an organism(sexually reproducing organisms) are called gametes or germ cells or reproductive cells which divides by meiosis only( for haploid nature).for example male gmetes in humans are called sperms and female gametes are called eggs or ovum
