What is the name of the male gamete of an animal called?
The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).

Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
