The egg contains the genetic material of the female
The sperm contains the genetic information of the male
Once the egg is fertilised it contains the genetic information of both parents - male and female.

How much genetic information of the potential offspring does a human sperm and egg cell normally carry?
Each sperm and egg carries one-half of the genetic information necessary to produce offspring.For plato usersD)one halfEach sperm and egg carries one-half of the genetic information necessary to produce offspring.
Why does a sperm cell have a very little cytoplasm?
Sperm have a long way to go and not very long to live so they pack light. They don't need ribosomes, roughER, Golgi apparatus, etc. They only need a sack filled with DNA, a flagellum, mitochondria to power it and a way to get into the egg if he's lucky enough to make it that far.
How much is sperm worth at the sperm bank?
If you have an IQ lower than 100 then they exterminate your sperm, and wait for a 12 year old college graduate to donate sperm on spring break.
How much sperm does a man have in his body?
More than a billion.
How much do you have to magnify sperm to see them?
Between 400 and 600 should do it.

What is meiotic drive?
This subject comes under the heading of selfish genetic elements. It is the ability of some genes or suites of genes to influence their representation in egg and sperm cells. Meiotic drive can present as much as 50% variation to selection.
What is genetic?
Genetics is the study of heredity and the variation in organisms. When studying genetics, you learn about dominant and recessive traits along with much more.
Does an animal that has more or less genetic information live longer?
The amount of genetic information present in the nucleus of somatic cells doesn't have a direct correlation with the expected lifespan of an animal. However, there is some scientific evidence that the loss of telomeres (short repetitions of genes on the ends of chromosomes) indicates how much longer that particular cell will live.
What is the difference between Azoospermia and Oligospermia?
Azoospermia is the absence of sperm in the semen, while Oligospermia is a low sperm count in the semen. Azoospermia indicates no sperm are present, while Oligospermia indicates a reduced number of sperm. Both conditions can impact fertility.
How much sperms are requried to get pregnant?
all it requires is a single sperm cell, and a bit of extra information here, a single discharge of male sperm contains millions of sperm cells.
Is whale sperm big enough to see with the naked eye?
No the reproductive cells of a whale are not much large then those present in Humans. The sperm cells even in the large sperm whale would still be too small to be seen by the naked eye.
What type of genetic information does a baby contain?
A new-born baby contains the same genetic information that it received from the mother (in her egg or ovum) and from the father (in his sperm). This means 50% of the baby's genes come from each parent. This is ALWAYS the case, even if a child looks much more like one parent than the other. Well, not exactly 50%; a new baby receives 50% of nucleic DNA from each parent, but they receive 100% of their ribosomal DNA from their mother, along with an average of 120 genetic mutations per birth.
Can a girl or women get pregnant if they pinch there vagine?
In order for a woman to become pregnant, there needs to sperm present. Even if sperm is on another body part, but some of the sperm comes in contact with the vagina, she can still become pregnant. If it is on her fingers and she touches her vagina, there is a risk of pregnancy, although much, much smaller than with penile penetration

Do females get nutrients from male sperm?
No, sperm are small packets of genetic material designed to fertilize an oocyte in the female reproductive tract. In fact, the sperm have just enough resources to get to the oocyte - the oocyte must supply much of the energy and resources necessary to complete fertilization. However, if a female were to ingest sperm, the female's digestive tract would break the sperm down into component amino acids which would provide minimal nutrients to the female.
Why are genes called hereditary unit?
genes are the carriers of heredity as they carry the genetic information generation after generation without much changes in it.
