A sex cell, like an egg or sperm

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to move a single piece of furniture through a narrow doorway without damaging it. This situation is similar to how gametes, such as eggs and sperm, carry the genetic information necessary for reproduction through a limited pathway. Just as you carefully navigate the furniture to fit perfectly through the doorway, gametes are specialized cells designed to merge together, each carrying half of the genetic blueprint needed to create a new organism.
