Wikipedia
sex cell
A germ cell is any cell that gives rise to the gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually. In many animals, the germ cells originate in the primitive streak and migrate via the gut of an embryo to the developing gonads. There, they undergo meiosis, followed by cellular differentiation into mature gametes, either eggs or sperm. Unlike animals, plants do not have germ cells designated in early development. Instead, germ cells can arise from somatic cells in the adult, such as the floral meristem of flowering plants.

sex cell
A sex cell, also known as a gamete, is a type of cell that is associated with sexual reproduction and contains a half set of chromosomes. They are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. In mammals, the male sex cells are called sperm, and the female sex cells are called eggs or ovules. When a male and a female sex cell unite, they form a fertilized egg cell, or zygote, which can develop into a new organism.
