They are seperate cells because together they can combine to make a living organism.

∙ 13y agoOva and sperm are made solely for the purpose of procreation, like how red blood cells are made solely to run through your veins.
Human ova are made from germ cells inside the ovaries.
Human sperm are started roughly the same way, originating from the male genitalia.
Sperm and ova are also the only cells in the body with X an Y chromosomes. (Ova have solely X and sperm can have either)
the sex cells are generated and reproduced in an entirely different fashion than any other cell in the body

Meiosis makes what kind of cells?
Meiosis makes haploid cells that are different to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is a type of cell division used for sexual reproduction and to create gametes.
What kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?
Meiosis cell division is where the egg and sperm cells are created. Mitosis cell division is where two identical daughter cells are formed.
What is the name of the process that makes sperm and egg cells?
spermatogenesis
How many sperm are inside you?
Sperm cells can be produced during the lifetime of a male. Thus, there's different amounts of sperm cells in a male's testes all the time.
How many daughters cells does mitosis and meiosis make?
Mitosis makes 2 diploid daughter cells that are identical to their parent cell, and meiosis makes 4 haploid cells that are each different from their parent cell. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes that regular cells do, because they are sex cells (egg and sperm).
Sperm and eggs are different other cells in your body?
Yes, sperm and egg cells each only contain half a set of chromosomes, while all other cells contain a full set of chromosomes.
How the sperm cells structure is different to other cells?
Sex cells have only half of the information unlike other cells so u don't have a exact copy

What does the lymph nodes do in the immune system?
it makes sperm cells
Do sperm eat each other?
Sperm do not eat each other. Sperm are single-cell reproductive cells produced by the male reproductive system to fertilize a female egg. They are not capable of consuming or digesting other sperm cells.

What are the different cells in the body?
red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, sperm cells and egg cells
Is sperm a somatic cell?
No. Every cell is a somatic cell except for the reproductive cells (the egg and sperm). They are gametes.
