How do a human sperm cell reproduce?
I searched google, and the only result coming up is how the egg and the sperm meet to reproduce a diploid cell... blah blah blah
I mean after a while sperm cell in your body dies, and how does it reproduce?
The important question is, does it self reproduce, as in mitosis!
Urgent help, from the experts!
Try not to scare me with big vocabs!

Your question does not make sense. Sperm does not "reproduce". Are you curious about how sperm is produced? Sperm is produced by the seminiferous tubules of the testis.

Sperm cells can be reabsorbed in the body after they "die". Well, mitosis happens in somatic cells and sperm cells are haploid germ cells and do not undergo mitosis. Sperm cells are formed after maturation of spermatids, which are the result of meiosis division of secondary spermatocytes. Mature sperm cells do not have the ability to undergo cell division, that's just how it is.
