Sperms are male sex cells or gamets and eggs are female sex cells or gamets... But genitically they are different coz egg has XX chromosomes and sperms have XY chromosomes.... hence, thay are different....... When :
Female Male Offspring
(XX) (XY)
X + X = Girl
But if.....
X + Y = Boy

∙ 11y agoThe egg is huge, the largest cell of the human body, it can even be seen with the naked eye. It contains all the ingredients of a regular cell, and tons of nutrients to feed the embryo before it anchors to the wall of the womb.
The sperm cell is the smallest of the human body, and contains only a nucleus with DNA to contribute to the future embryo, and structures providing energy to the tail to swim as fast as it can. The sperm is built for speed.

When a egg cell is fertilized by a sperm cell?
Fertilization is a type of sexual reproduction wherein two different organisms produce a new organism. It is basically the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell.
How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
What are the different types of sex cells?
The human gametes are the sperm cell (male) and the egg cell (female). The chromosomes carried by the sperm cell can have two forms, the X cell (female offspring) or the Y cell (male offspring). These combine with the egg cell, which virtually always carries only an X chromosome. So an XX cell would develop as a female, and an XY cell would result in a male offspring.
Which cell determends the gender of a human baby?
The sperm cell determines the gender of a human baby. Ova only have X sex chromosomes, but sperm cells can have either an X or a Y sex chromosome. If an X sperm fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be XX and be female. If a Y sperm fertilizes an egg, the offspring will be XY and be male.
How is sperm cell related to human sexuality?
The male's sperm cell combines with the female egg or ovum; fertilizes it and is the start of embryo formation.
How does fertilization take place in a human?
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being

How does fertilization take place in human beings?
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being
How does the human life begin?
With a sperm cell and a egg cell.
How many chromosomes does a human sperm or egg cell contain?
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?
No, there are 46 chromosomes in the human body cell. However, there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete cell.
How does fertilization take place in humans?
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being
How many sperm cell and egg cell unite during fertilization?
Generally, one sperm cell and one egg cell unite for each offpring that is created (some cases, such as monozygotic/idential twins, are different). This means that if a human has one baby, it was one sperm and one egg. Or if a dog has 5 puppies, it was 5 egg cells and 5 sperm cells that united.
What is the function of a human sperm cell?
To fertilize the female egg

What is the function of the human egg cell?
to get fertilized by sperm and turn into a baby
The total set of chromosomes found in either egg or sperm?
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
