Differences between Male and Female Gametes

Recently in Term 2, under the Biology topic of Reproduction in Animals, I learned about the two different animal gametes, the sperm and the egg. I have thus come up with a comparison chart between the two gametes to give myself, as well as others a better understanding of the two gametes of the male (sperm) and female (egg).

Criteria for Comparison	Female Gamete	Male Gamete
Amount of cytoplasm	A lot of cytoplasm to provide nourishment for embryo	Little cytoplasm to decrease weight to enable it to move faster
Shape	Spherical	Streamlined so that there is less resistance in swimming towards ovum
Presence of  tail	No tail, non-motile since it is swept along oviduct by cilia/peristaltic contraction of muscles of oviduct movement not necessary	Has a tail/flagellum/motile to allow it to swim in the egg
Amount per release	Only one is released per month	Released/produced in larger/greater number To ensure survival/ due to high mortality rate in vagina To ensure successful fertilization
Jelly coating	Contains jelly coat that contain receptor for the sperm to bind	Jelly coat/ zona pellucida
Acrosome Level	No Acrosome	Contains Acrosome that contains enzymes that breaks down layers surrounding egg
Mitochondria Level	Contains few mitochondria as it is non-motile, thus requiring less energy	Contains many mitochondria to provide the sperm with energy to swim
