A sperm cell is a different shape than a regular body cell. It sort of looks like a lemon with a tail. The main difference the between sperm cells and regular body cells is that sperm cells only have 23 chromosomes compared to the 46 in normal body cells do to undergoing meiosis.
What else can I help you with?
Why many sperm cell's needed to fertilize an egg cell?
Many sperm cells are needed to fertilize an egg cell because only one sperm cell can successfully penetrate the egg cell's protective layer and fuse with its nucleus to form a zygote. Competition among the sperm cells ensures that the strongest and healthiest sperm cell is most likely to successfully fertilize the egg.
What is a gamete give example?
A gamete is a specialized reproductive cell that contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell. In humans, the sperm cell produced by males and the egg cell produced by females are examples of gametes.
Why does a sperm cell have a energy producing structure?
not a single structure but plenty of them; it moves and movements cost lots of energy
How many chromosomes are in a mature sperm cell?
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
What is the difference between a haploid cell and diploid cell?
A haploid cell contains a single set of chromosomes (half the normal number), typically found in gametes (sperm and egg cells). In contrast, a diploid cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and is found in most somatic cells of the body.
Cell extension that is found on the sperm cell?
Flagella. The flagella helps the sperm cell to move.
Is egg multicellular?
no of course not! it is a animal cell producd by the male.
What is an animal cell that uses a special structure for swimming?
Sperm
Is a sperm cell a specialised cell?
A sperm cell (gamete) is a specialised cell because it only performs one function: to fertilise an egg, and its structure relates to it's function. For example, the sperm cell's long tail helps it swim faster.
How does animal cell structure differ from that of humans?
Animal cell structure differs from that of humans because humans have several billion cells and animals sometimes only have one. However, the basic structure of each cell is similar.
What normal feature does the sperm cell have?
they have long tails for swimming and heads to get into the ovum
How is sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin?
Matt Jones has herpes in the butt hole!
What is the long tail-like structure used for movement?
The tail of the sperm cell
How does fertilization restore the normal chromosomen number?
Each gamete, the sperm or the egg, is haploid and contains half the number of chromosomes of a normal cell. When the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote, the zygote becomes a diploid cell with the normal amount of chromosomes.
The total set of chromosomes found in either egg or sperm?
The number of chromosomes found in either and egg of sperm is half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell of the organism. For example, if you are thinking of a human sperm or egg cell is would be 23 chromosomes, since the normal human cell has 46.
What is the tall sheath in the sperm cell?
how the sperm cells structure is linked to the cells function, the tall sheath?
Why many sperm cell's needed to fertilize an egg cell?
Many sperm cells are needed to fertilize an egg cell because only one sperm cell can successfully penetrate the egg cell's protective layer and fuse with its nucleus to form a zygote. Competition among the sperm cells ensures that the strongest and healthiest sperm cell is most likely to successfully fertilize the egg.
