Yes, sperm and egg cells each only contain half a set of chromosomes, while all other cells contain a full set of chromosomes.
No, sperm cells are not the longest cells in the human body. Nerve cells, also known as neurons, can be several feet long as they can extend from the spinal cord to different parts of the body.

no. a kidney is not composed of body cells. but liver, sperm, and a single bone are composed of body cells. :)
Squamous epithelial cells are normal cells of the skin or of the lining of the urethra, vagina, and other body linings. Trichomonas is a protozoan that can infect the reproductive tract or other body areas, depending on the species. Spermatozoa is the medical term meaning sperm cells.
The only cells that go through meiosis are in the male (testes) and female (ovaries) gonads. All other cells divide mitotically.
They are seperate cells because together they can combine to make a living organism.
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells. This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.

well, for one they are haploid (n) whereas other cells in the body (somatic cells) are diploid (2n) this means that sperm cells (egg cells for females) only have half the amount of chromosomes as any other cell in the body
A sperm cell is a different shape than a regular body cell. It sort of looks like a lemon with a tail. The main difference the between sperm cells and regular body cells is that sperm cells only have 23 chromosomes compared to the 46 in normal body cells do to undergoing meiosis.
..of course :))
Sperm cells do not age in the same way that other cells in the body do. The production of sperm cells begins at puberty and continues throughout a male's life. The structure and function of sperm cells remain relatively consistent regardless of a person's age.
Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.
Gametes are sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, their genetic material is joined to form a new cell called a zygote. Because both the sperm and egg cells have half the number of chromosomes as in normal body cells, the zygote will have the full number of chromosomes as in normal body cells.
Sperm leave a man's body through the penis.
they are different time are activated
Sperm and eggs each only have half a set of DNA, whereas all other cells contain a full set.
