What is the difference between human and rat spermatozoa?
Human spermatozoa are longer and have a different shape compared to rat spermatozoa. Additionally, human spermatozoa have a higher motility rate and larger head size in comparison to rat spermatozoa. These differences contribute to the variations in reproductive strategies between humans and rats.

How do the chromosomes in human sperm cells differ from those in ova?
Human sperm cells contain 23 chromosomes, including one sex chromosome (either X or Y), whereas human ova contain 23 chromosomes, including one X sex chromosome. This difference in sex chromosomes contributes to the genetic diversity of offspring.
What type of reproduction do terrestrial snails use?
Most of the terrestrial snails are hermaphrodites having the capability of producing both the ova and spermatozoa. The type of reproduction is therefore sexual.
