It is very active. It has to swim actively to reach the ovum. This cost a lot of energy

Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?

No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.


What produces male gametes in large numbers?

The testes are responsible for producing male gametes, called sperm. Sperm are produced in large numbers through the process of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.


What does a sperm nucleus contain?

A sperm nucleus contains the haploid set of chromosomes, which are half the number of chromosomes found in a normal cell. This genetic material is crucial for fertilization as it combines with the egg nucleus to form a new, genetically unique organism.


Which amount of sperm is produced in lifetime of human?

On average, a healthy male may produce about 1.5-5.5 milliliters of semen when ejaculating. Over a man's lifetime, the total amount of sperm produced can vary widely but is estimated to be in the billions.


Difference between male and female sperm?

Although only males produce sperm, that does not mean that all sperm is male. There are two types of sperm: male and female. Male sperm carry the 'y' chromosome; female sperm carry the 'x' chromosome. If all sperm where male, then there would be no females born. Thus, the difference between male and female sperm is that male sperm carries the 'y' chromosome and produces male offspring and female sperm carries the 'x' chromosome and produces female offspring.

How often do males make sperm?

Men produce sperm constantly. There are millions of sperms cells in the male testicles, and the amount produced increases once a male reaches puberty.


How is sperm cells adapted to its function?

A sperm cell's tail is strong for swimming and it has a mid-section packed full of mitochondria for respiration. Also, the nucleus is has half of the male DNA. The sperm cell is small and lightweight, allowing it to travel quickly.


Why are the mitochondria arranged around the filament of a sperm cell?

Egg cells, or ova, are complete cells and have mitochondria. Spern cells are mobile packets of DNA, running on glucose and have no internal structure or organelles. A tightly-packed helical mitochondrial sheath surrounds part of the sperm tail. This is strange, however, because the sperm cell does not appear to produce energy by oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. The sperm appears to produce all of its energy needs by glycolysis, which does not need mitochondria. Sperm do not contribute very many mitochondria to the egg upon fertilization. So most people get their mitochondria from their mothers.
