The distribution of sex cells, however, was a different matter.

I don't know what my mother would have thought if she had known about these viruses in our sex cells."

The body must then reduce the number of chromosomes by half to go into the sex cells.

The familiar green moss is the generation which produces the sex cells.

"We believe those limits begin when people try to interfere with the sex cells.

He added: "And pollen was not seen as sex cells for the plant.

Some algae admittedly produce sex cells of more or less equal size.

Each member of the pair becomes part of the separate sex cell.

"The female, unlike the male, does not manufacture the sex cells.

The development and maturation of sex cells also takes place during meiosis.

Meiosis is the type of cell division which produces sex cells.

Fertilization is the fusion of both sex cell or gamete.

It also targeted the sex cells of the patient, which meant the cure could be passed down to subsequent generations.

Some, but not all, preformationists at this time claimed to see miniature organisms inside the sex cells.

There are occasional exceptions to this rule: the process of meiosis which makes the sex cells can go wrong.

Anisogamy just means sex cells of different size.

These sex cells pass out through the ducts.

Sex cells are created by splitting the chromosome count of body cells right down the middle.

It's purely quantitative and it's in terms of the size of the sex cell.

Normal human sex cells have 23 chromosomes.

Barnacles cannot move, but each has both male and female sex cells, allowing each neighbour to be a potential mate.

Parasitic protozoans usually have a complicated life cycle that includes the production of gametes, or sexual cells, and spores, or asexual cells.

Around 60-90 days postinfection, sexual cell stages of the parasite undergo sporogenesis, and develop into pansporocysts, each of which contains eight triactinomyxon-stage spores.

Baumann's expertise is in cell division; comparing sexual cell division, known as meosis, in the new species with other, infertile lizards could reveal as-yet-unappreciated mechanisms.

In this way, the polyps synchronise the release of their sexual cells so precisely that the event occurs at the same hour on a particular night each year, turning the sea into a multi-coloured reproductive soup.

Each new cell will also carry the twin set of chromosomes - except the sexual cells (the ovum in the female and the spermatozoon in the male) which will carry only one set - 23 single chromosomes instead of 23 pairs.
