The sperm cell consists of a head, a midpiece and a tail. The head contains the nucleus surrounded an acrosome, which contains enzymes used for penetrating the egg. The midpiece has a core with many mitochondria around it. Those produce ATP to drive the tail.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.
A spermatid is an immature male germ cell formed during spermatogenesis, which eventually matures into a spermatozoon or sperm cell. A spermatozoon is a mature male gamete with a head, midpiece, and tail that is capable of fertilizing an egg.
Egg cells are produced in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis, where a specialized cell called a primary oocyte undergoes meiosis to produce a mature egg cell. Sperm cells are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis, where spermatogonia cells differentiate and undergo meiosis to form mature sperm cells. During sexual reproduction, an egg cell and a sperm cell combine during fertilization to form a zygote which has the full complement of chromosomes.
Sperm mature in the epididymis after production.
A mature sex cell is a gamete, which is a specialized cell that is capable of uniting with another cell during sexual reproduction to form a new organism. In humans, mature sex cells are sperm in males and eggs in females. These cells are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.

no
well cell forms zygote when an egg and sperm joins and with the passage of time it got a mature baby
Those would be spermatozoa, or simple, 'Sperm'.
Developing sperm are known as spermatocytes which develop into spermatids. Mature sperm are known as spermatazoa.

Mature male gametes are called sperm. They are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. Sperm cells are involved in fertilization when they unite with a female egg cell during sexual reproduction.
A mature sperm is one that is fully formed and has adequate motility.
