They are gametes that come together to form a zygote. They hold genetic information from each parent.

When the sperm penetrate the egg cell fertilization occurs.
Egg is produced in the ovaries in females and sperm in testes in males.
A sperm and an egg.
sperm fertalizes the egg cells.
Sperm cells need a tail to get food or energy while the egg isnt alive yet to need emergy......?
Neither. The union of a sperm and egg is called fertilization. Both sperm and egg cells are sex cells that are produced through meiosis.
Sperm cells are adapted for motility through a whip-like tail called a flagellum, allowing them to swim towards the egg. Egg cells are adapted for receiving sperm through receptors on their surface that recognize and bind to specific proteins on the sperm cell, leading to fertilization. Both cell types also undergo specialized processes, such as meiosis, to ensure genetic diversity in offspring.
Sperm cells and egg cells named together are called gametes.
the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
No, a plant does not even produce sperm and egg cells.
Sperm cells need a tail to swim to the egg for fertilization, as they are motile cells. Egg cells, on the other hand, are non-motile and stationary within the female reproductive system, waiting to be fertilized. This is why sperm cells have evolved to have a tail for movement, while egg cells do not require this adaptation.
