What is the largest cell in the male human body?

The largest cell in the male human body is the sperm cell, also known as a spermatozoon. It is approximately 50 micrometers long.


What is the shortest cell in human body?

There are a number of contenders for the position of smallest cell in the human body. The head of the sperm is on average 5 to 6 micro meters. The flagellum is up to 50 micrometers long. Also some says Granule Cell of the Cerebellum is the smallest cell of the human body it is approximately 4um to 4.5um in size. The size of the RBC also found as around 5 micrometers. In terms of volume most of the scientists suggest that sperm is the smallest cell.


In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.


Why is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome a sperm?

Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.


The number of chromosomes normally present in a human sperm cell is?

The number of chromosomes in a human sperm cell is 23. This is because sperm cells are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as a normal human cell, which is 46. During fertilization, the sperm cell combines with an egg cell, which also has 23 chromosomes, to create a new cell with a total of 46 chromosomes.
