Human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome?
A normal human cell containing 44 autosomes and two X chromosomes is a somatic cell of a female. The word "somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body.
Why many sperm cell's needed to fertilize an egg cell?
Because out of a normal ejaculation of 200 million sperms, 90% are deformed which is normal. The actually fertilize an egg it only takes one.
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
What cell organelle has a tail-like appendage?
A sperm cell is an example of a cell that has a tail or more properly a "flagella". Cells with Flagella are also found among all three domains of life - bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes - but the structure of the appendage is different in each of these domains.
Is impontency affects sperm cell?
There are several different types of impotency in men. When the sperm cell numbers are reduced because of some type of harm such as radiation, the structure of the sperm is harmed. It is not known if these changes result in birth defects, of if they simply reduce the chances of getting the woman pregnant.
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
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 is the tall sheath in the sperm cell?
how the sperm cells structure is linked to the cells function, the tall sheath?
What normal feature does the sperm cell have?
they have long tails for swimming and heads to get into the ovum
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.
What is a reason why the structure of a unit cell of LiF differs from that of a unit cell LiCl?
The unit cells are the same, both LiCl and LiF adopt the rock salt, NaCl structure
What is the long tail-like structure used for movement?
The tail of the sperm cell

A normal human cell containing 44 autosomes and two X chromosomes is a somatic cell of a female. The word "somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body.
What is the deffinitino of vacuol?
Vacuoles are cell organelles that store water and enzymes. The size, shape, and structure of a vacuole differs according to the type of cell that it is.
How is sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin?
Matt Jones has herpes in the butt hole!
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.
