A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is referred to as a spermatium. Sperm cells cannot divide and have a limited life span, but after fusion with egg cells during fertilization, a new organism begins developing, starting as a totipotent zygote. The human sperm cell is haploid, so that its 23 chromosomes can join the 23 chromosomes of the female egg to form a diploid cell. In mammals, sperm develops in the testicles and is released from the penis.
Sperm and egg cells contain only 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cells unite, the resulting fetus inherits half of its DNA recipe from its mother and half from its father. Two of these 46 chromosomes determine the sex of a person. A girl inherits two X-chromosomes, one from her mother and one from her father. A boy inherits one X-chromosome from his mother and a small Y-chromosome from his father. 46 Chromosomes.
