PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These sex cells are also called reproductive cells or gametes. Sperm cells are produced in men’s testicles and egg cells are produced in women’s ovaries. Sex cells are different from other cells in one special way: Put simply, they only have one half of the total amount of human genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sperm head contains the genetic material. The head of the sperm contains the nucleus. The nucleus holds the DNA of the cell. The head also contains enzymes that help the sperm break through the cell membrane of an egg.

Detailed explanation-3: -Human gametes (egg and sperm cells) are haploid, containing 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -These cells are called ova or egg cells in females; in males, gametes are called sperm. Essentially, a gamete is a haploid cell-a cell that contains 23 chromosomes, half the normal 46-that fuses with another haploid cell for the purpose of reproduction (called fertilization).
