Forms: 1800s– gameta, 1800s– gamete.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Gamet.

Etymology: < German Gamet (E. Strasburger 1877, in Bot. Zeitung 35 756) < ancient Greek γαμέτης husband (or γαμετή wife) < γαμεῖν to marry (see -gam comb. form) + -της (or -τή), suffix forming agent nouns.In form gameta as a Latinized form; compare -a suffix¹.

Biology.

Each of the two reproductive cells, typically haploid and distinguishable into male and female types, which fuse to form a zygote in sexual reproduction; a fully mature germ cell; an egg cell or sperm cell.See also anisogamete and isogamete.

1878 Jrnl. Bot., Brit. & Foreign 16 57 For the swarm-spores the term ‘gametes’ is proposed, the spore being called ‘gametangium’. The mass of copulated gametes is called a ‘zygote’.

1899 Nature 21 Sept. 509/1 Heredity, then, is really applicable only to the appearance in a zygote of some of the properties of the gametes.

1914 Pop. Sci. Monthly June 525 The sperm, or male gamete, is among the smallest of all cells and is usually many thousands of times smaller than the egg.

1945 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 17 Feb. 236/1 Artificial insemination is proposed only for that..unfortunate minority of couples who are sterile due to some fault in the husband's sperm or to incompatibility between otherwise normal gametes.

1975 Times 7 Aug. 14/5 When gametes are formed from a heterozygous plant all sorts of different genetic combinations are produced, which on fertilization produce a wide range of plant types.

1998 Church Times 20 Nov. 14/4 It is difficult to make sense of a determination to encourage a responsible attitude to parenthood while the state fails to take a critical view of the practice of anonymous donation of gametes.

2011 Herald-Times (Bloomington, Indiana) 16 Dec. a7/4 The zygote formed by the union of two gametes is a new individual.
