Spermatozoa (Sperm)

Target: Sperm
Molecular classification: Cell

Overview

Spermatozoa (singular: spermatozoon), commonly referred to as sperm, are the male reproductive cells or gametes in animals and many other organisms. They are highly specialized for the function of fertilizing the female egg cell (ovum) and initiating the development of a new organism. Their primary function is to reach and penetrate an egg cell during fertilization, delivering their genetic payload.
