Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, they are several times larger than a typical body cell and about 10, 000 times larger than sperm cells. There’s a reason why egg cells, or oocytes, are so big: They need to accumulate enough nutrients to support a growing embryo after fertilization, plus mitochondria to power all of that growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eggs are larger in size because they contain almost all of the organelles, materials, and nutrients required for zygote growth. On the other hand, a sperm consists of one haploid chromosome and a few mitochondria for movement. Sperm swim in female reproductive travel to unite with the ovum to achieve fertilization.
Detailed explanation-3: -General Biology Both of these cells contain a nucleus suspended in the cytoplasm. However, the egg is several times larger than the sperm. This is because the egg contains a lot more cytoplasm than sperm cells. This size difference might be there because of a reason.
