Sperm are the only human cells to have a flagellum. This is their "tail".
They are also one of only two cells to have haploid number of chromosomes. The ova in females is also haploid.
Human cells are diploid during the majority of their life cycle, including in somatic cells. This means they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. The only exception is in reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells), which are haploid.
The only cells in the human body that pass on DNA to an offspring are the reproductive cells, specifically the sperm cells in males and the egg cells in females.
No, just in sex cells. ie, eggs and sperm cells
Human sperm cells are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. Specialized cells within the testes called spermatogonia undergo a series of divisions and maturation steps to eventually develop into mature sperm cells.
No. Seminal fluid is only about 10% sperm.

No, human sperm cells do not contain cilia. Cilia are small, hair-like structures that can be found on certain cells. However, sperm cells have a flagellum, which is a long tail-like structure that allows them to swim.

Some human inherited traits are transmitted or passes from parent to offspring by sperm cells.
sperm cells
Sperm and Egg cells are formed by Meiosis.
Human sperm cells are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. Specialized cells within the testes called spermatogonia undergo a series of divisions and maturation steps to eventually develop into mature sperm cells.
All the cells in your body that are not sex cells. Devoid of the complications here, sperm in males and eggs in females are the only cells in the adult human body that are NOT somatic cells.

All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.
