In addition, the fruit fly's
sperm flagellum displays quite a long axoneme (∼ 1.8 mm), which may facilitate both histological and biochemical analyses.

Although the
flagellum, along with the rest of the jaw, is thought to play an important role in the mating behavior of camel spiders, and was observed to transfer
sperm to the female in at least one species, little is known about its precise function.
The bio-bots are modeled after single - celled creatures with long tails called
flagella — for example,
sperm.
Because one end of each tube was slightly narrower than the other,
sperm that swam into the wider end become trapped, headfirst, with their

flagella, tail - like projections that
sperm use to swim.
Not all bacterium have
flagella, and no human cells have them besides
sperm cells.
The name comes from the posterior location of the
flagellum in motile cells, such as most animal
sperm, whereas other eukaryotes tend to have anterior
flagella.
During
sperm biogenesis,
flagella appear tightly bundled, which makes it more challenging to get accurate measurements of protein levels from immunostained specimens.
Sexual reproduction in which male animals produce motile
sperm often with
flagellum is found in all major phyla of metazoan animals [84].
Animal
sperm are predominantly small and motile, with compact nuclei and often a beating
flagellum, which are produced through a series of male - specific developmental steps called spermatogenesis.
