A single sperm cell or spermatozoon consists of a round or cylindrical nucleated cell, a short neck, and a thin motile tail. Its structure is vital to its mobility and function (i.e. sexual reproduction). The compacted nucleus contains half of the genetic information. It fuses with an ovum (the female gamete) to form a zygote. In mammals, the sex is determined by the sperm cell. If it bears Y chromosome, the resulting offspring is a male. If X chromosome, the offspring is a female.

What is the function of a spermatozoon?
The primary function of a spermatozoon, or sperm cell, is to fertilize an ovum (egg) to initiate the process of reproduction. Spermatozoa are specialized cells that carry genetic material from the male, and they are designed to travel through the female reproductive tract to reach and penetrate the egg. Each spermatozoon consists of a head, which contains the nucleus with DNA, a midpiece that provides energy, and a tail (flagellum) for motility. This unique structure enables sperm to swim and navigate toward the egg during fertilization.

Do you mean sperm cells and egg cells? Spermatozoon and Ovum are fancier terms for the same.
