Nan......you are wrong. It's not that difficult. Just demands a bit of concentration and understanding.

Don't worry.....you'll get it with time  ;)

I don't think you need to know that for O-level. It's in AS syllabus.
This question does not really arise. Anyway let me get this clear for you.

A gamete is a cell consisting half the number of chromosomes than a normal cell.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures which contain the genes and is found in the nucleus of a cell. A normal human cell consist of 46 chromosomes, while a gamete has only 23 chromosomes.

Don't get too much engrossed in that.......you'll learn it if you take biology for AS in the following years  ;)

I AM doing Bio for AS. Which'll be next May InshaAllah.

Well, what confused me was when drawing crosses, we do this right,
    Gametes- X X and X Y
Which means women have XX but when asked about the chromosome in an ovum there's only an X.  :-\
I still don't get it.
