Hey your ans...

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed"). In the types of sexual reproduction known as anisogamy and its subtype oogamy , there is a marked difference in the size of the gametes with the smaller one being termed the "male" or sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon , whereas a non-motile sperm cell is referred to as a spermatium . Sperm cells cannot divide and have a limited life span, but after fusion with egg cells during fertilization, a new organism begins developing, starting as a
totipotent zygote. The human sperm cell is
haploid , so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a
diploid cell. In mammals , sperm develops in the
testicles, stored in the epididymis , and is released from the penis....

Hope it helps you ...
