What type of cell divides to form gametes?

Osteocyte
Germ cell
Ovum
Neuron

The correct answer is: Germ cell

Germ cells are reproductive cells that divide to form gametes, such as sperm and eggs. Osteocytes are bone cells, unrelated to reproduction. Ovum is another term for egg, and while it is involved in reproduction, it is not the type of cell that divides to form gametes. Neurons are nerve cells, also not related to reproduction. Overall, the only option specifically related to cell division and gamete formation is the germ cell. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
