Question

what are the sex cells called that contain genetic material passed to offspring? (1 point) zygotes gametes somatic cells alleles

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Zygotes: Formed by the fusion of gametes, not the sex cells themselves.
• Gametes: These are sex cells (sperm and egg) that carry genetic material to offspring.
• Somatic cells: Body cells, not involved in passing genetic material to offspring.
• Alleles: Variants of genes, not cells.

So the correct option is Gametes.

Answer:

B. Gametes
