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....
