Question

State the difference between sperm and egg in a tabular form with the help of diagrams.

Answer 1

Hint: Egg cells are the largest human cells and sperm are the smallest human cell. Phenomenology gives us the characteristics of the egg and the sperm.

Complete answer :
The Difference between EGG and SPERM cells in tabular form is given below.

DIFFERENCE	EGG	SPERM
SIZE	They are large.	They are small.
SHAPE	They are round.	They are straight.
INNER MOBILITY	They have mobile cytoplasm.	Have rigid nuclear material
OUTER MOBILITY	They are passive.	They are active.
METABOLISM	Metabolism is highly active.	Metabolism is less active.
OPENNESS	Yes.	No.
NUMBER	Only one.	Millions.
PRODUCED IN	Inside the body and the ovary.	Outside the bodies and testes.
TEMPERATURE	Warm.	Relatively cold.
WHEN FORMED	Formed before birth	From puberty.
AGE	At old age.	Young.
FORMED FROM - UNTIL	Before birth – Menopause.	Puberty-death
MATURATION	Increasing volume.	Decreasing volume.
LIFE SPAN	Short life span.	Long life span.
STORABLE	Not storable.	Storable.

Additional information: The most important difference between egg cell and sperm cell is that sperm is a reproductive cell from a male while the egg cells are from the females. Both egg and sperm cells depend on each other for the reproduction of human life. They both undergo meiosis and divide the cell.

Note:For a conception, an egg cell and many sperm are needed. When the cells find each other, they fuse after a while and the chromosomes come together. Then the zygote formed and then began to divide.
