Gametes : Special Reproductive cells are different from normal cells as they have half              the  number of chromosomes. e.g Human cells have 46 chromosomes but sperm and egg have 46/2=23 chromosomes. So when sperm and egg fuse, zygote will have 23+23= 46 chromosome. Male gamete : small in size and motile (has tail) Female gamete: big in size ( because of stored food reserve) and non motile.
