Pre-Veterinary Small Animal Practice Test

The male sex cell is a sperm cell. In reproduction, sex cells are called gametes, with the male gamete being the sperm produced by the testes to deliver the genetic material to the egg. The other options don’t name the cell: a hormone is a signaling chemical, a female sex cell is an ovum, and a protein is a molecule, not a cell. Understanding that the male reproductive cell is specifically the sperm helps distinguish how fertilization occurs.
