The matured sex cell which takes part in sexual reproduction is referred to as?

A. gamete
B. fetus
C. embryo
D. zygote

Correct Answer:

Option A – gamete

Explanation

Gametes are reproductive cells (sex cells) that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are ova (eggs).
Embryo is the stage of animal development in the uterus before the animal is considered a fetus. In humans this is equivalent to the first three months.
