The male structure equivalent to the ovum is the sperm. Just as the ovum is the female gamete responsible for reproduction, the sperm is the male gamete that fertilizes the ovum to initiate the development of a new organism. Both sperm and ovum are essential for sexual reproduction, carrying half of the genetic material needed to form a zygote.
The male reproductive cell that fertilizes the ovum is called a sperm cell.

The egg in the human Female is known as the ovum. The ovum needs to be fertilised by its male counterpart, the sperm.

The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
It is known as 'The Ovum' - or Egg Cell. It is also a meiotic Cell that when combined with the male equivalent [meiotic] sex Cell 'The Spermatid' forms 'The Zygote' - which then proceeds to Create The Organism.
A Female ovum and a Male sperm fuse to create a zygote cell. It is the earliest developmental stage of the embryo.
The sperm can have either X or Y sex chromosome. If the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get female baby. If the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get male baby. Ovum always has got X chromosome in it.
Oogenesis or oögenesis (pronounced Wikipedia:IPA_for_EnglishAnswers.com) is the creation of an Ovum(egg cell). It is the female form of Gametogenesis. The male equivalent is Spermatogenesis. It involves the development of the various stages of the Immature_ova.
It has a long tail that helps it swim easily to reach the ovum, It has a pointed tip in the head of the sperm which allows it to effectively enter the ovum.
It imbeds itself into the Uterus wall.
A polln grain after germination sends a pollen tube in the ovule to release male gametes near the egg cell or ovum.
