What cell does every human being begin life as?
46 chromosomes
What does life begin for Catholics?

Which term refers to a fertilized human egg before it begins to divide?

How can you kill a fertilized egg?
abortion. or the morning after pill if you catch it soon enough.
How did every single person begin life?
When an egg was fertilized by a sperm cell.
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.
When will an egg die if not fertilized?
Technically, an unfertilized egg is not alive. Since this question is in regard to chickens...the egg itself will develop normally and will be laid by the hen. The unfertilized egg will begin to rot during incubation whereas a fertilized egg will start to develop into a chick.
When you get pregnant how soon is the egg not an egg and its start to develop?
A fertilized egg, a zygote, stays as a single cell for about a half an hour before its first division.
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.

What is special about the cell division that takes place soon after an egg cell is fertilized?
The new cells are smaller than the egg cell.
Once an egg has been fertilized?
