Gamete
  A gamete is a sex cell; a
haploid egg or sperm. It is one of
the differentiated cells that is a
product of meiosis.
  The union of two gametes of
the opposite sex (fertilization)
produce a zygote.
 Gametogenesis is a biological process by
  which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell
  division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes.
 Depending on the biological life cycle of
  the organism, gametogenesis occurs by meiotic division of
  diploid gametocytes into various gametes, or
  by mitotic division of haploid gametogenous cells. For
  example, plants produce gametes through mitosis in
  gametophytes. The gametophytes grow from haploid spores
  after sporic meiosis. The existence of a multicellular, haploid
  phase in the life cycle between meiosis and gametogenesis
  is also referred to as alternation of generations.
