gametler

Gametler is the Turkish term for gametes, the reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms. In biology, a gamete is haploid, carrying a single set of chromosomes, and its fusion with another gamete during fertilization restores the diploid chromosome number in the zygote. Gamete formation occurs by meiosis, a cell division that halves chromosome number and shuffles genetic material, contributing to genetic diversity among offspring.

In animals, the two main types are spermatozoa (male gametes) and ova (egg cells, female gametes). Sperm

Gametogenesis encompasses the development of mature gametes. In animals, spermatogenesis occurs in the testes and oogenesis

Gametler as a term is mainly used in Turkish-language biology contexts; in other languages the term gamete
