What is female sperm called?

Published in Biology 1 min read

There is no such thing as "female sperm." Sperm is the male reproductive cell, and females do not produce sperm. The female reproductive cell is called an egg or ovum.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Sperm: The male reproductive cell, produced in the testes.
  • Egg (or ovum): The female reproductive cell, produced in the ovaries.

During fertilization, a sperm cell unites with an egg cell, creating a zygote, which develops into a fetus.
