The term "female sperm" is not accurate. In humans, the female reproductive cell is called an ova or egg, and not sperm.
| Feature | Female Gamete (Ova/Egg) | Male Gamete (Sperm) |
|---|---|---|
| Production Site | Ovaries | Testes |
| Name | Ova/Egg | Sperm |
| Function | To be fertilized | To fertilize the egg |
The reference provided clearly states:
Female gamete in humans is called ova/egg. It is produced by the ovaries. The male gamete called sperm fuses with the egg to form a zygote.
Therefore, the correct terminology is:
- Female gamete: Ova/Egg
- Male gamete: Sperm
It's important to note that sperm is exclusively the male reproductive cell. There is no equivalent for "female sperm." The female reproductive cell is the egg.
