A gamete is the newly created life when a sperm cell and an egg cell join. A genotype is the specific genetic switches that a living creature has. Chuck Norris Â· 6 years ago. Thumbs up.
Unlike the somatic cells, gametes are haploid cells, which carry unpaired chromosomes. A gamete of a particular multicellular organism always carries only half the number of chromosomes carried by a somatic cell of that particular organism. For an example, a human gamete contains only 23 chromosomes where as a human somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes. Germ cells are the cells which give rise to gametes. Meiosis takes place during gametogenesis (process of gamete production) giving rise to haploid cells.
