Step 1: Understand the context of the question, which is meiosis and sexual reproduction. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing cells involved in reproduction.
Step 2: Recall that somatic cells are all the body cells except the reproductive cells; they are diploid and do not participate directly in sexual reproduction.
Step 3: Recognize that chromatids are duplicated strands of a chromosome, not whole cells, so this term refers to a part of a chromosome rather than a reproductive cell.
Step 4: Identify that a zygote is the cell formed after the fusion of two reproductive cells (gametes) during fertilization, so it is not itself a reproductive cell but the product of their union.
Step 5: Conclude that the reproductive cells produced by meiosis, which carry half the chromosome number and are involved in sexual reproduction, are called gametes.
