In humans, males will start producing sperm at puberty. From then on the male can produce millions of sperm per day. The human female is born with all the eggs she will use in her life time. At puberty, hormones stimulate the ovaries to release one egg per month until menopause. Females do not produce fresh eggs during their life.

Why is there a greater number of sperm than eggs?
Since the time of the dinosaurs, many females, including human females, have lived with a set number of eggs that can be fertilized during her lifetime. Males continue producing sperm throughout much of their lives. This is because it is the male's job to increase the species and if females produced as many eggs as males do sperm, there would be an overpopulation problem.
Sperm and eggs are known as what?
Reproductive cells or gametes.
What are two example of sex cells and how are they formed?
Sperm and Egg cells are formed by Meiosis.
What are the gametes of plants?
Flowering plants have gametes, which are the haploid sex cells. The sperm (male gamete) are found in the pollen on top of the anther. The eggs (female gamete) are located deep in a ovule usually in the center of the flower. Some flowers "self-pollinate" and others must have help from pollinators, such as bees, to get the sperm to the egg for the production of seeds.
Why in animal fertilization are there generally more egg and sperm cell produced during external fertilization than during internal fertilization?
I'm no expert, but I'm fairly sure that the environmental conditions (ie. air temp) makes quite a big difference
What are sperm and eggs produced by?
gonads
Which cell is not produced by mitosos?
Sex cells: sperm and eggs. These are produced my meiosis.
Where are eggs produced in woman?
Eggs are produced in the ovaries, then when they are formed they travel through the filopian tubes and met with a sperm.
Where are eggs produced in males?
males don't have eggs, only the female does. the male has sperm.
What are the cells produced by the reproductive organs?
by a woman eggs and by a man sperm
PLANT EGGS and sperm unlike animals are produced by which process?
mitosis
What best describes the daughter cells produced by meiosis?
Collectively they are called gametes. Separately they're called sperm in males and eggs in females.
Where egg sperm produce and meet?
Eggs are produced in the ovaries of females, while sperm are produced in the testes of males. The meeting of egg and sperm typically occurs in the fallopian tubes, where the egg is fertilized by a sperm to initiate pregnancy.
Where are sex cells produced in humans?
In females, the sex cells (eggs) are produced in the ovaries. In males, the sex cells (sperm) are produced in the testes.
Process by which eggs and sperm are produced?
The egg is produced by the ovary through its follicles. These follicles are then stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Every 28 days, one egg from each ovary is produced. Sperm is constantly manufactured by the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Technically, males don't run out of sperm because a new batch is produced every day.
Where does the ovum produced?
Ovaries.
Why are so many eggs produced by invertebrates?
Because most of it may be fertilized by sperm from the male invertebrate.
