Question:
At the beginning of prophase I there are ________ molecules of DNA in a developing human sperm cell.
Your Answer:
23
92
CORRECT ANSWER
46
INCORRECT
half as many (as compared to somatic cell)
twice as many (as compared to mature sperm)
A sperm cell has 23 chromosomes at prophase I of meiosis, which is half the normal number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell. This reduction in chromosome number is due to the process of meiosis, which halves the genetic material to ensure that when the sperm cell combines with an egg cell during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.

A sperm cell contains 23 chromosomes, each made up of a single DNA molecule. Therefore, a sperm cell typically contains one copy of each chromosome, with a total of 23 DNA molecules.
The combining of an egg and sperm to create 1 single cell is "conception."
this is called prophase
No two sperm cells are identical because of the process of crossing over that occurs in prophase I of meiosis.

no, they are cells that are formed from meiosis
The sperm unites with the Ovum in the womb, to form a zygote, which is the beginning of the Embryo.
Sertoli cell (nurse cells), nourish and protect developing spermatozoa.

Bunny sperm is made out of the same things human sperm is made out of. Various protein molecules, as well as sperm (the little swimmers) and other liquids and fluids from the body.
A developing sperm cell begins to grow a tail during the spermatid stage of spermatogenesis. This process occurs as part of sperm cell maturation, where spermatids undergo elongation and develop their characteristic tail to enable them to swim and fertilize an egg.
The testicles produce sperm once the male is beginning to reach sexual maturity.
