Answer 1

The correct answer is Male gamete.

Key Points

Sperm or spermatozoa is a gamete (sex cell) produced in the male reproductive system.
It is a mobile cell with one goal - to fertilize a female egg.
Each sperm contains the entire genome of the male that produced it.
Combined with the female genome contained in the egg, a zygote is formed - a single pluripotent stem cell containing the fused male and female genomes.
Sperm cells were first described in the late 17th century by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
