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.

What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?

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.

What is a mature sex cell?

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.


What are mature male gametes called?
