I believe the correct answer for this question is No, it possesses no life. The cell theory establishes the evidence that cells are essential to life and contributes a base or substratum from which additional elucidation of each cell is carried out. The cell theory is composed of six principles. All existing organisms are composed of cells. The cell is the fundamental part of life. Heredity information is transferred from cell to cell. Cells appear from pre-subsisting cells. Energy movement transpires within cells. The cell theory forms part of the rudimental principles that are the substratum for the study of life. Every cell possesses the same rudimental chemical composition. I apologize in advance if the answer that I provided for this question is incorrect. -Copelynn.
Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Sexual reproduction needs zygotes to reproduce that is why gametes are needed. Asexual reproduction doesn’t need gametes because there is only one parent and there is no fusion of gametes.
