The male sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. It fuses with the egg during fertilisation.
The male sex or germ cell.
Spermatozoon (sing.), spermatozoa (pl.). Male sex cells. Sperm are capable of independent movement. They have a head containing the paternal genetic information and a tail composed of several sections, this provides their motility. The sperm formed in the testes have to go through a process of maturation in the epididymides.
Tiny organisms in a man's semen that can swim up a woman's vagina and fertilise her egg. STD Sexually Transmitted Diseases for example, syphilis and gonorrhea. A disease which is passed to another person during sex.
Single, tadpole-shaped cells produced in the testicles and transported by semen. The male genetic contribution to reproduction.
these are very small male sex cells. Under a microscope they look like tadpoles . When a man ejaculates about 400 million sperm are released. They are made in the testicles once a young man has reached puberty. During unprotected sexual intercourse sperm can swim through the cervix into the fallopian tubes where fertilisation can happen.
Carries one half (23) the chromosomes to make a baby. Can carry either an an X sex chromosome, which would make a female baby, or a Y chromosome, which would make a male baby. Men determine the sex of the baby.
the cell from the father that contributes half the genes of the embryo.
Male reproductive cell that carries genetic material of father of offspring.
The male germ cell. Also called spermatozoon.
Gametes produced by the male sex organs.
Common abbreviation for spermatozoon (or for the plural form, spermatozoa). Also used in the form sperm cell. Plural: sperm or spermatozoa. See also: sperm count See also: spermatid
Male gamete containing a haploid complement of chromosomes. Although outnumbered by millions of its compatriots, one will combine with female gamete (egg) to form a zygote. (Everyone should know this, but if not, this textbook was worth writing in order to pass on that knowledge alone.)
the male sex cell; it penetrates an egg in the act of fertilization
The male sex cells that are produced in the testicles. Sperm are continually produced throughout a man's life.
The tiny, tiny, tiny microscopic cells produced by a male that contains the genes from the father. A sperm cell from the father must join with an egg cell from the mother for a baby to be created.
a piece of your father, your DNA was not there
The gamete that contains the genetic material of the male.
Male sex cells, or "gametes." Sperm, medically referred to as spermatozoa, are mobile haploid cells that fertilize eggs. Sperm cells provide the genetic information that determines an embryo's sex.
the male cell that joins a female egg to make a baby
Haploid gametes produced by males. Also see eggs. !-- assign table width based on how this page is called close_it();
The reproductive cell produced by the male.
Microscopic organisms contained in a man's semen. Sperm contain the genetic information necessary to create an embryo when joined with a woman's egg.
the male gamete produced in the testes.
a male reproductive cell which fertilizes a female's eggs
Atozoon is the male counterpart gamete.
Male gamete, reproductive cell.
The male gamete. Also known as a spermatozoon.
the male sex cell or gamete
Cell found in semen that can get a girl pregnant during sex.
The male gamete in sexual reproduction.
Gr. sperma: seed] • A male reproductive cell.
The male reproductive cell.
Haploid gametes produced by males. Also see eggs. close window
male germ cells, produced by the testicles. See Ovum.
The microscopic cell of the male; the male germ cell.
The male gamete or sex cell that contains the genetic information to be transmitted by the male, also known as spermatozoon (plural spermatozoa).
a male reproductive cell that carries genetic information. If sperm contacts an egg after intercourse, fertilization can occur.
The microscopic reproductive cell of a male; the male germ cell.
the male sex cells, produced in the testes.
A sex cell manufactured in the testes and contributed by the male as part of sexual reproduction.
The male gametocyte produced in the testis.
The main agents of male reproduction, which are produced in the testes and released into the semen.
the male sex cell (male gamete or spermatozoon)
the microscopic cells produced in the testicles and transported by semen to aid in reproduction.
Germ cell produced by the male.
The reproductive cell of males. Produced by the testes and expelled out of the body in the semen.
Microscopic living things contained in semen. They look like tadpoles. Semen allows sperm to swim as they look for the female egg, in order to fertilize it.
Microscopic, tadpole-like reproductive cells contained in semen. A sperm cell contains half the genes necessary to create a child; the other half is contributed by the mother's egg.
The husband's contribution to conception. Sperm can "swim" to unite with the wife's egg after being ejaculated into her vagina.
