JudyTail structures called flagella help propel sperm cells forward through fluids such as seminal fluid and cervical mucus. These flagella generate a whipping motion that allows the sperm to swim towards the egg for fertilization. Additionally, the chemical environment along the reproductive tract provides cues that guide the sperm towards the egg.

What is the function of the sperm cells mitochondrial spiral?
The mitochondrial spiral in sperm cells helps provide the energy needed for the sperm to swim and reach the egg during fertilization. This spiral arrangement of mitochondria produces ATP, which fuels the movement of the sperm's tail for motility.
Which cells are reproductive?
the haploid cells or the gammet cells are also known as the reproductive cells in animals, they are also known as the sex cells
What role do the pollen tube play in fertilization?
Pollen tubes transport the male gametes (sperm cells) from the pollen grain to the ovule for fertilization. The pollen tube delivers the sperm cells to the female reproductive structure, allowing the male gametes to reach the egg cell and fertilize it.
What are the four haploid cells formed in males at the end of meiosis II that develop tails?
The four haploid cells formed in males at the end of meiosis II are called sperm cells. Sperm cells are motile and have a tail that helps them swim to the egg for fertilization.
What do the sperm produced by mosses require to reach an archegonium?
Sperm produced by mosses require a film of water to reach an archegonium. The water helps in carrying the sperm to the archegonium, where fertilization occurs. Without water, the sperm would not be able to swim to reach the archegonium.
