Definitions:

Female

Pertaining to the sex that is typically characterized by the presence of two X chromosomes and is capable of bearing offspring or producing eggs.

Male

A biological sex that is typically characterized by the production of small mobile gametes, such as sperm in humans.

Gametes

Reproductive cells (sperm in males and ova in females) that carry half the genetic information of an individual, enabling sexual reproduction.

Meiosis

A type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, essential for sexual reproduction.
