What type of cells are responsible for producing gametes?

  1. Germ cells

  2. Motor cells

  3. Plasma cells

  4. Sensory cells

The correct answer is: Germ cells

Gametes are reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg cells, that are responsible for passing on genetic information from parent to offspring. Germ cells are the only type of cells specifically designated for producing these gametes. Motor cells are responsible for movement, plasma cells are involved in immune responses, and sensory cells are responsible for receiving sensory information. Therefore, these options are not directly involved in the production of gametes and are not the correct answer for this question.
