The risks that even small-time pot traffickers take to transport weed across Colorado state lines are increasing as law enforcement in neighboring states set up more border checkpoints, increase inspections of storage facilities and shipping containers and even take Colorado to court.
gamete. Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.
However, the process varies with the kind of cell. Somatic , or body cells, such as those that make up skin, hair, and muscle, are duplicated by mitosis . The sex cells, sperm and ova, are produced by meiosis in special tissues of male testes and female ovaries . Since the vast majority of our cells are somatic, mitosis is the most common form of cell replication.
