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

Explanation

Solution

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.

FORMED FROM - UNTILBefore birth – Menopause.Puberty-death
MATURATIONIncreasing volume.Decreasing volume.
LIFE SPANShort life span.Long life span.
STORABLENot 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.
