### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gametes**: Gametes are reproductive cells that fuse during fertilization to form a new organism. In sexually reproducing organisms, gametes are produced through a process called gametogenesis. 2. **Types of Gametes**: There are two types of gametes in heterogametic species: male and female. Male gametes (sperms) are typically small and motile, while female gametes (ova) are larger and non-motile. 3. **Process of Gametogenesis**: - In higher organisms, male gametes are produced through spermatogenesis, and female gametes are produced through oogenesis. ...
