sperm cells are haploid and only contain half of the normal chromosomes (so when a sperm and egg fuse and form a zygote they contain a full set of chromosomes) and go through meiosis. normal cells are diploid (2n) and contain a full set of chromosomes and go through mitosis.

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.
