| Each microgametocyte produces approximately 100 motile microgametes, each capable of fertilising a single macrogamete. |
| In botany, the egg is sometimes called a macrogamete. |
| One flagellum and most of the body of the penetrating microgamete had entered the macrogamete. |
| The sexual phase of the Plasmodium life cycle is completed with the fertilization of a macrogamete by a flagellar microgamete, and the subsequent generation of sporozoites. |
| It also damages wall-forming bodies II formed in the macrogamete stage. |
| The fertilization of a female macrogamete by a male microgamete produces a zygote. |
