Part One: We was introduce to Glen. Every heart beat Glen has 1000 sperm are producing in the testis. Sperm are free-living cells constantly moving. Sperm is one five hundred milliliter long. The testis, where sperm is made, is a round, elongated structure and has a series of tubules. In the video, the “sperm people” in white clothing where in a building waiting. This describes sperm waiting in the tubules. The sperm are differentiated by x and y sperm. The energy of the sperm comes from the mitochondria. Once the sperm is created, it waits in the epididymis. Sperms waits here until ejaculation.
Part Two and Three: We was introduce to Emily. Emily produce one egg per month. The process for sperm to reach the egg is a hard and long process. The sperm travels through the vas defens duct, prostatic duct, and penile urethra. The sperm is force out. Their demonstration of this was the “sperm” force out through a slide. The sperm goal is to find the egg. The sperm goes through

The uterus is about 2 miles and a half a mile wide for “sperm people.” When Emily has ovulated, the eggs come out either side of the ovaries. The uterus move things on the either side of which the egg comes out. The sperm moves along with the side the uterus push it with. Leukocytes are cells that kill off some of the sperm in the fallopian tube. The “sperm people” was considering trespassing a certain area and war began.

    The basic principles are simple; the X-sperm contains more DNA than the Y-sperm. Although this difference is small, it is possible to measure DNA content of individual sperm with sufficient accuracy to distinguish between X- and Y-sperm with about 90% accuracy for 50% of the sperm. Therefore, about half of the sperm are discarded as unsexable. The DNA content of sperm is determined using a fluorescing dye, Hoechst 33342 that readily penetrates the sperm cell membrane and binds to the DNA stoichiometrically. Thus, X-sperm ends up with about 4% more dye bound to their DNA than Y-sperm.…

    Despite both articles include evidence along the text, the evidence and they way they are provided is very different. The New York Times article Bird Eggs Are Fertilized by More Than One Sperm” by Sindya N. Bhando supports its topic by citing a quote of Nicola Hemmings “In humans and mammals, you only need one sperm to penetrate the egg,” said Nicola Hemmings, an evolutionary biologist (Sindya, 2015) and discussing the result from a study that was not conducted by an author herself. Dr. Hemmings and her colleagues studied eggs from zebra finches and chickens. The researchers found that when few sperm penetrated the egg, the bird embryo was unlikely to survive. Moreover, Sindya N. Bhando fails to include a bibliography at the end of the text.…
