Semen or seminal fluid is the whitish viscous fluid emitted from the male reproductive tract that contains sperm & liquids (seminal plasma) that help keep them viable. Sperm cells, produced by the testes in humans, represent 2 to 5 percent of semen volume; fluids from tubules, glands, & storage areas of the reproductive system bathe them as they travel down, nourishing them, keeping them motile, or participating in certain chemical reactions. During ejaculation, liquids from the prostate gland & seminal vesicles dilute the sperm & provide a suitable, slightly alkaline environment. An average ejaculation of a human male expels 0.1 to 0.3 cubic inches (2 to 5 ml.), containing 200 to 300 million sperm.
Sperm is the smaller, usually motile male reproductive cell of most organisms that reproduce sexually. Sperm cells are haploid (they have 1/2 the No. of chromosomes as the other cells in the organism's body). Sperm often have at least 1 flagellum. During fertilization, the nucleus of a sperm fuses with the nucleus of the much larger oocyte (the female reproductive cell) to form a new organism. In male animals, sperm are normally produced by the testes in extremely large numbers in order to increase the chances of fertilizing an egg. Motile sperm cells produced by some multicellular protist groups (such as the algae), the bryophyte plants, & the seedless vascular plants, require water to swim to the oocyte. In gymnosperms and angiosperms, sperm do not need water for mobility but are carried to the female reproductive organs in the pollen grain. In the cycads and the gingko (both gymnosperms), the sperm are motile & propel themselves down the pollen tube to reach the egg cell. In the conifers and angiosperms, the sperm are not themselves motile but are conveyed to the ovule by the growing pollen tube.
The human sperm cell is divided into a head that contains the nucleus, a mid-piece that contains mitochondria to provide energy for the sperm, & a flagellum that allows the sperm to move. When fertilization occurs, the nucleus & other contents from the sperm cells are drawn into the cytoplasm of the oocyte, but the mitochondria in the sperm are destroyed & do not survive in the zygote. Since mitochondria contain their own DNA (thought to be a relic from an existence as separate symbiotic organisms), all of the mitochrondrial DNA in humans is thus inherited from the female. The semen produced by the male reproductive tract act as a medium for sperm typically contains over 100 million sperm cells, all of which have but one purpose: to fertilize the single available oocyte.
Nothing semen covers the sperm so that they make it into the vagina safely and it also helps it keep the sperm safe so if any thing happens inside the penis or something the semen is wiped away and not the penis
Semen is the slightly off-white fluid that sperm swims in. Sperm are the cells that contain one-half of the male's DNA, which fertilizes the egg or ovum (which contains the other half of DNA from the female which combines to create the offspring). Semen provides nutrients and a watery environment to help the sperm cells remain mobile (or "swim") and to keep alive until the lucky few reach the ovum.
There is no such thing. Sperm are sperm, they do not come in different colours or levels of translucence. The question you may have is the consistency and colour of semen, which is what is ejaculted from the penis. Clear semen may not be semen at all, but pre-seminal fluid which may contain few sperm cells. Seminal fluid is the off-whitish fluid that contains many sperm cells and is the constituent for which conception of offspring, if intercourse is successful, is achieved.
Women don't have sperm.
women hold the sperm to produce a baby.
Spermatid is an immature sperm cell where a spermatoza is a mature sperm cell.
Spermatid is an immature sperm cell where a spermatoza is a mature sperm cell.
The count is made if you have enough sperm to fertalise a women, sperm comes out with the semen.
There is no difference between sperm/semen of white boy and black boy just as there is no difference in their blood.
Azoospermia is the absence of sperm in the semen, while Oligospermia is a low sperm count in the semen. Azoospermia indicates no sperm are present, while Oligospermia indicates a reduced number of sperm. Both conditions can impact fertility.
Sperm carries the male DNA, while semen is the fluid that the sperm swim in from the male into the female.

Yes. The fact that it is emitted while dreaming makes no difference.
Sperm would be gloopy almost like slime when it comes out pee would be like a regular liquid Sperm is carried in the semen which emits from the penis during sex or masturbation. Semen can be clear in young boys who are masturbating. You do not normally pee at the same time as ejaculating semen so you would know the difference between the two. Also because of the above answer too.
Semen is the collective of sperm and seminal fluids. Clear semen has very little or no sperm, hence its lack of colour. Semen that has sperm in it, will be white.
Seminal fluid is added to the sperm to make semen.
You mean 'Semen', not sperm. Sperm are invisible and semen is the liquid that carries sperm cells out of the man's body. Yes, clear semen is normal. So is white, cloudy semen.
There is a difference between sperm and semen. Sperm are the cells that carry the genetic material semen is a combination of sperm cells and other fluids. During the process of ejaculation, sperm passes through the ejaculatory ducts and into the urethra, it mixes with fluids produced in the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands to form the semen. These fluids are comprised of hormones, sugar, neutralizer for the urethra, lubricant and even an agent that will thin out a clumping factor to give sperm better better access to the ova after waiting in the in the female reproductive tract.
Boys sperm is called semen. :)
