Gamete represents the sex cell or germ cell in sexual
reproduction. There are two types of gametes, male and
female.
Zygote is the product of fertilisation in which a male and a
female gamete fuse with each other.
The two fusing gametes possess characters of their parents
in their DNA. Fertilisation brings characters of both parents into
one zygote cell.
Zygote is the first cell of the next generation. It divides to form an
embryo which subsequently grows into a new individual.
