The role of a sperm cell is to fertilise an egg cell and pass on genetic material. The nucleus of the sperm cell contains the male genetic material/DNA. The head of the sperm cell contains many mitochondria which provide energy for movement towards the egg. The sperm cell has a tail which allows it to swim towards the egg.
