Sperm cells don't actually divide. What they WERE divides, and what they will BECOME upon fertilization divides, but not a sperm cell.

Sperm cells are produced by the germinal epithelial cells that line?

the seminiferous tubules in the testes. These cells undergo a process called spermatogenesis, where they divide and differentiate to produce mature sperm cells. The mature sperm cells are then released into the tubules and travel through the reproductive system to be ejaculated.


5Describe the differences between mature sperm cells and reproductive cells?

Mature sperm cells are the male reproductive cells that have a tail for movement and contain genetic material for fertilization. Reproductive cells, on the other hand, encompass both sperm and egg cells, with egg cells being larger and containing more organelles to support embryonic development. Additionally, reproductive cells combine during fertilization to form a zygote, while mature sperm cells are specialized for fertilization.


Why do cells divide by meiosis?

Cells divide by meiosis to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This reduces the number of chromosomes in the resulting offspring and ensures genetic diversity. Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and genetic variation among organisms.


What types of cells divide this way for mitosis?

Cells that undergo mitosis include somatic cells in the body, such as skin cells, blood cells, and muscle cells. Germ cells, which give rise to egg and sperm cells, also undergo mitosis. Additionally, unicellular organisms like yeast divide via mitosis.


What cells of the body do not go through meiosis to become sperm?

The only cells that go through meiosis are in the male (testes) and female (ovaries) gonads. All other cells divide mitotically.

What types of cells?

all living cells, except sperm and egg cells until they join. Also some cells take a very long while to divide


Is there a cell in the human body that can't divide?

Permanent cells are incapable of dividing. Examples of these cells include neurons of the brain. Sperm and ovum cells or gametes are actually reproductive cells that do divide by meiosis to reach a haploid number of chromosomes; they cannot be considered somatic (body) cells.


What is the precursor cell to sperm cells?

Spermatogenesis is a process where germ cells are produced by mitosis and meiosis. Sprmatogonium is a precursor cells (2n) produce primary spermatocytes (2n) and sucessive secondary spermatocytes(n). This in turn converted as spermatids (n) and give rise mature sperm cells (spermatozoa).

What types of cell use mitosis to divide?

All somatic cells undergo mitosis to divide and produce new cells. These include cells in tissues such as skin, muscle, and organs. On the other hand, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (eggs and sperm).


When a sperm cell unites with an egg cells?

The term is fertilization, The sperm donates it's DNA to the DNA of the egg & the egg starts to divide & starts on the journey to becoming born.
