Anisogamy (noun) (also called heterogamy) refers to a form of sexual reproduction involving the union or fusion of two dissimilar gametes (differing either in size and/or form) — anisogamous, anisogamic, (adj.). The smaller gamete is considered to be male (sperm cell), whereas the larger gamete is regarded as female (egg cell).
There are several types of anisogamy. Both gametes may be flagellated and thus motile. Alternatively, neither of the gametes may be flagellated. This situation occurs for example in some algae and plants. In the red alga Polysiphonia, large non-motile egg cells are fertilized by small, non-motile spermatia. In flowering plants, the gametes are non-motile cells within gametophytes.
The form of heterogamy that occurs in animals, including humans, is oogamy. In oogamy, a large, non-motile egg cell (ovum) is fertilized by a small, motile sperm cell (spermatozoon). The large egg cell is optimized for longevity, whereas the small sperm cell is optimized for motility and speed. The size and resources of the egg cell allow for the production of pheromones, which attract the swimming sperm cells.
Why do human males produce so much sperm and is it a wasteful process?

Have you ever wondered why there are two sexes? As in, why do we require sexes for sex? The origin of the sexes is actually a very interesting question in theoretical biology, and in today's video I'll be covering my favourite hypothesis for the evolution of the sexes: The Hurst-Hamilton Hypothesis. The video is structured to cover: - A simplistic hypothesis for the evolution of the sexes - The hypothesis I believe to explain the origin of the sexes - Addressing two of its main criticisms Alongside answering the question as to why there are male and females, this video is also part of a wider evolution themed collaboration - you can enjoy the whole playlist here! http://bit.ly/EvolutionVideos Also, my apologies for each time I say "theory" instead of "hypothesis" - a rookie error!
