What is a gamete? In terms of the number of alleles for each gene,...?

a gamete is produced through a process called meiosis which is reproductive cells, sperm and eggs. It is like one alleles from each parent. For instance smooth peas with SS is dominate and ss is rough peas, one of these letters is an allele and is also a gamete. Lets say one parents give a big S and another parent a small s. Which both are alleles and gametes, when both of the gametes combine they formed what is called a zygote and the combining will give a heterozygote hence the zygote in hetero. So the offspring will be Ss, and since big S is dominant then it will be smooth peas.
