[iamhayley93]

im confused this didnt explain what a gamete cell is?????

[biba56]

@bmace15 a gamete cell is a sex cell. In humans, it is either a sperm cell or an egg cell. So imagine that the four rightmost cells in the screen are sperm cells and then imagine that each time you masturbate, a huge amount of these had to have been produced and for each, a meiosis had to have had occured.

@biba56  does a gamete contain chromosomes from one parent or both

[biba56]

@JEAK47 From one parent. If you're a man, in your testacles normal body cells undergo meisos to become sperm cells. The normal body cells contain chromosomes from your father and from your mother (they are diploid) but during meisos this genetic material divides into 4 sperm cells which means 2 of them have your father's chromosomes and the other two your mother's. But of course, because of homologous recombination neither of the 4 sperm cells isn't completely your father's or your mother's.

Shouldn't the four ending gametes all be unique?

@Romaniangirl10 yes they should
