How the Male Gamete?

Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells

egg cells
The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell, or gamete, in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, female gamete and a smaller, male one). The term is used when the female gamete is not capable of movement (non-motile).

How are two male gametes formed?

The generative cell divides mitotically to form the two male gametes. These two male gametes move together with the pollen tube towards the female gametophyte. The vegetative cell then gives rise to the pollen tube, a tubular protrusion from the pollen grain, which carries the sperm cells within its cytoplasm.
