Preferred term

gametes  

Definition(s)

  • A gamete is a cell containing half the amount of genetic material found in a somatic (body) cell that is capable of joining with another gamete and developing into a new individual. In this sense, the joined gametes (zygote) form the earliest stem cell since this one cell will go on to form a completely new organism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Gamete]
