Dear John: Is an egg and a sperm a
"cell" or "half of a
cell". Regards, BobC [Sorry for
the "shell";-( ]
[Actually, come to remember it, "half a cell" is called
"haploid", a whole cell is "diploid", could be
"triploid" or "tetraploid" if the cell has three or
four sets of chromosomes. Biologists do strange things when
rendering Latin and Greek words.]
