No, sperm is a male reproductive cell/ male gamete, which is a haploid cell (23 chromosomes) and when it fuses with the female gamete(23 chromosomes) it becomes a zygote or diploid cell ( 46 chromosomes).
In human fertilization, a released ovum (a haploid secondary oocyte with replicate chromosome copies) and a haploid sperm cell (male gamete) combine to form a single diploid cell called the zygote.
zygote, fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm).
