Which of the Following is Considered a Gamete

Question

Which of the following is considered a gamete?
A) embryo
B) child
C) oocyte
D) zygote

Accepted Answer

A gamete is a reproductive cell, such as a sperm or an egg. The only option that fits this description is the oocyte, or egg cell. Embryo and child are both more developed stages of human development, while a zygote is the result of the fusion of egg and sperm and not a gamete on its own.
