When a fertilized egg undergoes mitosis and cell division?
A zygote is created by the fertilization of two haploid cells created by meiosis. Because a zygote is fertilized by two haploid cells, it is diploid. It then has to divide and grow though mitosis like any other body cells.
Which process enables a single cell fertilized egg to become and adult organism with billions?
Mitosis.
What do you call the fertilized egg cell?
A fertilized cell is when a mature ovum (egg) is fertilized by a sperm. It becomes a fertilized cell. The sperm enters the ovum and the tail drops off. Then mitosis occurs and the cell continues to develop.
Which term refers to a fertilized human egg before it begins to divide?
The fertilized egg cell is called a zygote and divides to form an embryo.
Where is a zygote formed?
The zygote, which is a fertilized egg, grows to maturity in the uterus.
Are half the cells in your body made from mitosis and cell division?
More than half, in fact nearly all the cells in your body that divide (some don't, such as brain and nerve cells) do so through mitosis. The only exception are sex cells, sperm and egg, and when fertilized these divide to create embryonic cells through meiosis, a more complicated and lengthy process.
How soon does the fertilized egg begin to divide?
identical twins, if the egg divides in 2; identical triplets, if it divides into 3, and so on...
When does the ovum divide?
After the egg is released from the ovary, it travels into the fallopian tube. It stays there until a single sperm fertilizes it. The fertilized egg starts growing fast, dividing into many cells and then it leaves the fallopian tube and enters the uterus three to four days after fertilization.
Where do the sperms and egg meet?
In humans, eggs are typically fertilized in the Fallopian tube. The fertilized egg begins to divide and continues down the tube and implants in the uterine lining. If it implants in the Fallopian tube, this is known as an ectopic pregnancy (bad). In a chicken also, the egg is fertilized in the first part of the hens oviduct.
Where do the sperm and the egg?
In humans, eggs are typically fertilized in the Fallopian tube. The fertilized egg begins to divide and continues down the tube and implants in the uterine lining. If it implants in the Fallopian tube, this is known as an ectopic pregnancy (bad). In a chicken also, the egg is fertilized in the first part of the hens oviduct.
Why is it necessary for an egg to be fertilized?
It is necessary for an egg to be fertilized so the egg can hatch.
What is a fertilized female egg cell called?
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
