A human sperm cell is the male reproductive cell responsible for fertilizing the female egg. It is a microscopic, highly specialized cell with a whip-like tail called a flagellum that enables it to swim towards the egg. The head of the sperm contains genetic material, including the father's DNA, which combines with the mother's DNA upon successful fertilization.
