The nucleus and cytoplasm of a haploid sperm cell fuse with the nucleus and cytoplasm of a haploid egg cell in the process of?

Fertilization .


Where in the animal cell is the cytoplasm located?

the cytoplasm is what holds all the organelles together. its a liquid so its practically everywhere. for example think of a cracked egg. the yellow part in the egg is the nucleus of the animal cell the white part that surrounds it is the cytoplasm where all the organelles are. Hope this helped! : )


Why does the egg cell contain lots of cytoplasm?

All cells have cytoplasm. It is there to protect cell organelles and provide emergency water and nutrients. They may have more cytoplasm because they lack the hard structural cell membrane that plant cells have and they need the extra protection. They may also have it so they are flexible because animals are constantly on the move and need to be able to stretch and bend.


Do egg cells have only a little cytoplasm so that it can have a thin steamlined shape?

Why does all of the cytoplasm in a fertilised egg come from the mother?

Because the male contribution to a fertilized egg is only a sperm. A sperm is a very small cell stripped of almost everything except the genetic material it is passing on and the necessary equipment it needs to get that genetic material where it needs to go. Cellular cytoplasm is not one of those things. Therefore, the egg, which comes from the mother, must provide all of the cellular structures, including cytoplasm, for the embryo.

What is the function of the cytoplasm in the sperm cell?

The cytoplasm in the egg has all of the organelles that the zygote (new individual) will need. The sperm only carries DNA into the egg. All of the organelles must be supplied by the egg. Studies have shown that only the mDNA (found in the mitochondria) comes from the female.

because it has a yolk which looks like a nucleus and a cell membrane and the egg part is like the cytoplasm.
