gametes
Sperm cells mature in the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle in the male reproductive system.
Cells with half the genetic information are called haploid cells. Each haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells such as sperm and egg cells.
A cell with one of each kind of chromosome is called a haploid cell. In humans, haploid cells are typically reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg cells. These cells contain a single set of chromosomes (23 in total for humans) instead of the usual two sets found in most cells (diploid).
Bacteria divide into two identical daughter cells through binary fission. This process involves the replication of the genetic material and then the division of the cell into two new cells, each containing a copy of the genetic material.
Diatoms reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission. In this process, the diatom cell divides into two daughter cells, each containing a copy of the parent cell's genetic material. This results in the formation of two identical diatom cells.

Generally, two. However, when forming zygotes, that is, reproductive cells for eggs or sperm, they split in to 4, each containing half of the genome.

The reproductive cells of an organism each contribute half of the required genetic material to create the offspring. This means that each reproductive cell has 1n, while the organism has 2n chromosomes.
Meiosis is a two-step division process that results in four daughter cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This ensures that each reproductive cell only receives one gene for each trait because the genetic material is randomly separated in the first division and then segregated in the second division, leading to genetic diversity in the offspring.

Cells with half the genetic information are called haploid cells. Each haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells such as sperm and egg cells.
This form of cellular division results in the production of gametes, or sex cells, that have just one copy of each chromosome (the haploid number) as opposed to two copies of each chromosome (the diploid number). Human gametes are more commonly known as sperm cells and egg cells.
Sperm do not eat each other. Sperm are single-cell reproductive cells produced by the male reproductive system to fertilize a female egg. They are not capable of consuming or digesting other sperm cells.
