Unlike seedless vascular plants gymnosperms do not require water to transport the sperm. Instead a partly developed microgametophyte (pollen grain) is transferred to the viscinity of the megagametophyte (female) passively by the wind this process is called pollination. After pollination the endosporic microgametophyte produces a pollen tube and drops the sperm into the female ovary (i believe this is called pollination drop).

∙ 14y agoThe sperm goes through a tube from the male testes to the prostate gland where it is mixed with seminal fluid and stored. It waits until sexual intercourse when then is ejected out the penis and is deposited in the vagina. It swims through the mucus plug where the cholesterol cap is removed. It works its way up the uterus to the Fallopian tubes. There it meets the egg.

Which organ produces sperm in a male?
Egg cells are produced in the Ovaries of the Female reproductive system.
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.
What is the name of male sex cell in animals?
In animals it would be called a sperm. In plants I assume the answer would be the pollen, however, the pollen is not necessarily one cell. Even if it is one cell it will have more than one nucleus (2 or 3).
What is ferilization?
The act or process of initiating biological reproduction by insemination or pollination. The union of male and female reproductive cells (gametes) to produce a fertilized reproductive cell (zygote). Fusion of a sperm cell with an egg cell to produce a zygote when the female sex cell (egg) and the male sex cell (sperm) come in contact. the joining of a sperm and an egg The fusion of the male sex cell with the female sex cell to form an embryo is called fertilisation. The fusion of an egg and sperm to form a zygote
What is the name of the male gamete of an animal called?
The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).
Which organ produces sperm in a male?
Egg cells are produced in the Ovaries of the Female reproductive system.
What specialized cell are produced in male and female reproductive system?
sperm or an egg. Each contain 1/2 the total DNA of a normal cell. The sperm and egg combine to put these two halves together and create a new DNA combination that is unique to the individual (unless they have an identical sibling/s)
What is a sperm or egg?
Sperm and egg cells are gametes, or reproductive cells. The sperm is the male reproductive cell. The egg is the female reproductive cell.
A male cell capable of fertilizing an egg?
Sperm cell.
What is an example of Meiosis?
It is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut.
What is the male egg cell of the flower?
pollin or sperm

What is the reprdouction?
the easisest way i can explain is this is when an egg meets a sperm. an egg is a male cell and egg is a female cell
What is the exocrine function of the testes?
The testes are part of the reproductive system in male animals. The testes are the site of sperm production. The testes function to keep the sperm warm enough, so that they stay alive long enough to fertilize an egg.
Another name for a sperm cell?
Gamete (a male or female sex cell ie the egg or the sperm)
What is the repruductive system of female sex cell and male sex cell?
Female- egg. Male- sperm.
What is the name of male sex cell in animals?
In animals it would be called a sperm. In plants I assume the answer would be the pollen, however, the pollen is not necessarily one cell. Even if it is one cell it will have more than one nucleus (2 or 3).
