The exact number of egg cells that can be fertilized is exactly the same as the number of egg cells that are available. For example, in a salmon, about 7,000,000. In a human, normally one, occasionally two to three, rarely up to five and very, very rarely up to seven. Just because they 'can be' fertilized though does not mean that they 'will be' fertilized!

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.
Where is an ovum normally fertilized by a sperm cell?
fertilisation takes place in ampulla of uterine tube
How can fertilization happen?
Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell and an ovum fuse, resulting in a fertilized egg.
What is the name of the cell that results from the union of sperm and the ovum?
Fertilization is the short answer. This process results in a fertilized egg known as a zygote.
What is the cell formed by the sperm and the ovum?
The cell formed by the sperm and the ovum is called a zygote. It is the earliest stage of human development and contains the complete set of genetic information from both parents. The zygote then undergoes cell division to form an embryo, which eventually develops into a fetus.
When the ovum is fertilized by the sperm this is called?
Implantation

When a sperm unites with an egg what is the fertilized egg?
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
What does an ovarie do?
The ovaries in the female body produce eggs ovum, from of the many follicles located in the ovary. During ovulation the ovum is released into the fallopian tubes where it can be fertilized by sperm. If the egg is not fertilized, it is shed with the Endometrium during menstruation.
The female gamete is called what?
The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
What becomes fertilized egg?
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?
Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
How does fertilisation occurs?
Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell and an ovum fuse, resulting in a fertilized egg.
Where is an ovum normally fertilized by a sperm cell?
fertilisation takes place in ampulla of uterine tube
How can fertilization happen?
Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell and an ovum fuse, resulting in a fertilized egg.
Where does the egg and the sperm fertilise?
the ovum (egg) is fertilized by the sperm at the frst 1/3 of the fallopian tube of the female reproductive system
Which organ nourishes the fertilized ovum?
The uterus nourishes the fertilized ovum.
