Does the head of the sperm contain mitochondria?
No,head contain nucleus and lysosome.The mid part contain mitochondria.
What does a sperm nucleus contain?
The sperm's nucleus contains the 23 male chromosomes. The middle part of the sperm consists of mitochondria.
Why sperm cells contain large numbers of mitochondria?
It requires a lot of energy for a sperm cell to travel through to meet with the ovum. For this reason, the sperm cells doesn't contain any organelles except for a few mitochondria. The rest of the organelles are inherited from the ovum.
Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?
No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.
What is the mitochondria in the sperm used for?
Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.
Does the head of the sperm contain mitochondria?
No,head contain nucleus and lysosome.The mid part contain mitochondria.
Do both cells contain mitochondria?
sperm does
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
Does sperm contain mitocondria?
Yes, sperm contain mitochondria. These organelles are important to get enough energy for the movement of the flagellum.
What does a sperm nucleus contain?
The sperm's nucleus contains the 23 male chromosomes. The middle part of the sperm consists of mitochondria.
What does it mean an energy flagellum?
it is the 'tail' of some cells, for example the sperm cell. flagellums that contain mitochondria (like the sperm) cell are known as energy flagellum, as the mitochondria in them energy for activities such as movement (or swimming to the ovum for the sperm cell)
Why sperm cells contain large numbers of mitochondria?
It requires a lot of energy for a sperm cell to travel through to meet with the ovum. For this reason, the sperm cells doesn't contain any organelles except for a few mitochondria. The rest of the organelles are inherited from the ovum.
What is function of mitochondria in sperm?
The mitochondria provide energy to the sperm's 'tail' (flagellum) so that it can move, and propel the sperm cell forward.
What organelle is most abundant in the sperm cell?
Mitochondria. It takes a lot of energy to swim as far as they have to.
What do chloroplasts contain that a mitochondria does not?
chlorplast contain thylakoids unlike mitochondria
Would sperm cells with more mitochondria than others have a greater chance of fertilising an egg?
Sperm cells have no mitochondria.
Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?
No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.
