Gamete

Gamete

A gamete is either a male or female sex cell.

These are produced in their respective sex organs.

A female only produces these cells once, but a male continues making these cells forever.

Fertilization

Fertilization

Fertilization is the fusion of male and female gametes.

This happens through sex (and pollination)

When this happens a baby is made (or a seed)

Zygote

Zygote

A zygote is the diploid cell formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg.

The term literally means joined or yoked.

This only happens in sexual reproduction

Pollination

Pollination

Pollination occurs when the male reproductive organs in a plant transfer pollen to the female reproductive organ in a different plant (usually in the same species)

This is usually done through bees and butterfly's

This enables the plant to be fertilized
