Answer:

Gametes

Step-by-step explanation:

Gametes( sperm and egg) are cells that contain half of our chromosomes(46 chromosomes in humans meaning each gamete has 23 chromosomes)

These are also how your traits are passed down from each parent so a mutation in one these cells could cause a new trait in offspring.
