Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spermatozoa (sperm) are the male sex cells that carry a man’s genetic material. They are so tiny that they can’t be seen without a microscope. In a healthy man, one ejaculation usually contains between 40 million and 600 million sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Male gametes in humans is called sperms. Sperms are produced by testes. Sperms fuse with egg produced by ovaries to form a zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sperm cells or spermatozoa are small and motile due to the flagellum, a tail-shaped structure that allows the cell to propel and move. In contrast, each egg cell or ovum is relatively large and non-motile. In short a gamete is an egg cell (female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete).
