Sperm

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-011174

The male reproductive cell, a haploid gamete that carries genetic information from the male parent. It is typically motile and consists of a head containing the nucleus, a midpiece with mitochondria, and a tail for propulsion. In humans, sperm are produced in the testes and are approximately 50-60 micrometers long.
