Solution

Sperms:

  1. Sperms are male gametes that are secreted along with nutritive fluids during ejaculation.
  2. Ejaculation is the release of sperms and seminal fluids from the male reproductive system.

Sperms cells in an average human ejaculation:

  1. Every day, thousands of sperms are produced in the male testicles.
  2. They are fed and grown in the testes until ejaculation.
  3. The sperm count is the number of sperm found in one milliliter of ejaculation.
  4. 1 mL of sperm normally contains 100 million sperm.
  5. The average amount of sperm released during ejaculation is 3 ml.
  6. As a result, 3 ml of the ejaculation will contain 300 million sperms.
