Pollination
This process is simply pollination.
The egg is the gamete produced by the female.
The female gamete or egg cell.
This process is simply pollination.
The female gamete is the egg or ovum.
The result of a male gamete fertilizing a female gamete is a zygote.
Yes, the ovum is the female gamete.
The ovule is the part of the flower where the embryo sac is housed, and the embryo sac contains the female gamete (egg), which, when fertilized by the sperm in a pollen grain, will produce a zygote. What was once a flower will become a fruit. The zygote develops in the ovule, and forms the seed, which will eventually be dispersed from the fruit to start a new generation. So, the ovule is analogous to the pollen: one contains the female gamete, and the other contains the male gamete.
The fertlized female gamete starts to develop a baby
The female gamete, or egg (oocyte), contains a haploid set of chromosomes, half the number present in other cells of the body. It also contains various organelles such as mitochondria to provide energy for fertilization and early development. The egg is surrounded by protective layers, including the zona pellucida and corona radiata, to aid in the process of fertilization.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
The ovaries do not actually produce a female gamete each moth. The ovaries prepare a female gamete for fertilization every month.
