The sperm nucleus (in animals) contains the haploid chromosome set of the parent father. The egg or ovum carries the other half of the chromosome set from the parent mother. On fertilisation the two sets fuse and a full set of chromosomes forms (diploid). The cell then divides through mitosis to form the embryo.
The nucleus also helps control the sperm cell while it seeks out the ovum.
In plants a similar structure develops when a pollen grain (male) germinates on the stigma of a receptive flower. A pollen tube grows down the style to deliver the nucleus to the ovary of the flower [simplified explanation!].

The tail is called cilia and it helps in the movement of the sperm. It makes it able to reach the egg.
It is NOT cilia. It is a flagella.

Is a sperm cell a animal or plant cell?
Sperm cells are animal cells.
How many sperm cell are there in one person?
A sperm is a single cell, so there is one cell per sperm.
What is the name of the cell when sperm fertilizes egg?
The cell that fertilises the egg cell is called the sperm cell. _-------O That's how a sperm cell looks like <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
What is the males reproductive cell called?
Sperm.
What does the cell membrane do in the sperm cell?
It fuses with the membrane of the egg cell, and the content of the sperm cell enters the egg cell.
What is the uniting of the sperm cell with an egg cell called?
fertilisation I think ... But so a bit more research yourself on it
What is the union of the sperm cell nucleus with the egg cell nucleus called?
The process of the union of a sperm cell and egg cell is fertilization. This union of two haploid cells makes a zygote, which changes to an embryo, and eventually makes a fetus.
How much sperms are requried to get pregnant?
all it requires is a single sperm cell, and a bit of extra information here, a single discharge of male sperm contains millions of sperm cells.
Is a sperm cell a animal or plant cell?
Sperm cells are animal cells.

What are the details of histological structure and functional aspect of bull spermatozoa?
Bull sperm have a more pointed head than what human sperm does, but ultimately, bull sperm has the same histological structures and functions as human sperm does: The head is oblong in shape with a very thin layer of cell membrane (in the form of phospholipids linked together) to help contain the nulceus, where one-half the chromosomes are located and are needed to complete the other half of the chromosomes in the ovum when the spermatozoa merges with the ovum to create a zygote; the neck, which is cylindrical and covered with a cell membrane just like in the head portion of the sperm, contains mitochondria, which aid in providing and producing energy to the flagellum (or tail) of the sperm to help with mobility. The phospholipids surrounding the neck portion have passage areas to help with the exchange of nutrients from the seminal fluid into the neck of the sperm cell.
What isn't in a sperm cell?
A cruise missile is not a sperm cell.
What is the males reproductive cell called?
Sperm.
What is a egg cell and Sperm cell?
sperm cell is the typical sperm of most animals has a head containing the nucleus and acrosome
What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?
The process when an egg cell and a sperm cell COMBINE is called Fertilization
What does the cell membrane do in the sperm cell?
It fuses with the membrane of the egg cell, and the content of the sperm cell enters the egg cell.
