Is it possible for another man's sperm to overpower the sperm of the biological father so the baby resembles the other man?
No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.
Where do the chromosomes within a fertilized egg come from?
The egg contains the genetic material of the female The sperm contains the genetic information of the male Once the egg is fertilised it contains the genetic information of both parents - male and female.
How do egg and sperm cells carry genetic material?
the answer is because the female produces half of the genetic information and the male sperm head produces the other half.and when the egg lets a sperm cell in it stays there and develop into the embro.and then it studies the cell the reproduction occurs
Why must the nucleus of the unfertilized egg be destroyed before the parent cell's nucleus is inserted?
because the genetic material from the egg's nucleus must be eliminated
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.
Which part of sperm fertilize the egg?
It can be said fertilisation occurs when the genetic material is combined. The nucleus in the head of the sperm contains the genetic information of the male.
Does the pollen grain contain the egg of an angiosperm?
no the pollen grain contains the male genetic material - sperm cells
What is the 2 reproductive cells in a plant?
The egg cell for females (contains genetic material) and the sperm cell for males (carries genetic material to the egg cell).
How much genetic information is present in the sperm and egg?
The egg contains the genetic material of the female The sperm contains the genetic information of the male Once the egg is fertilised it contains the genetic information of both parents - male and female.
Is an ovum diploid or haploid?
The egg cell "ovum" only has half the genetic material, so it is haploid.
What is the source of the genetic material in zygote?
The father's sperm and the mother's egg each have half of the genetic material needed for the zygote. egg cell &sperm cell
What is the source of genetic material in a zygote?
The father's sperm and the mother's egg each have half of the genetic material needed for the zygote. egg cell &sperm cell
Why is it important for sperm and egg cells join fertilization?
Each Egg and each Sperm contain only half of the genetic material to make a new animal (a baby). Thus if they do not join then the two parts of the genetic material can never come together.
What is the Location of genetic material in a cell?
DNA located in nucleus as well as mitochondria in the cell.
Do egg cells have nucleus?
Yes! It contains important genetic information
Is it possible for another man's sperm to overpower the sperm of the biological father so the baby resembles the other man?
No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.No. Only the sperm that fertilizes the egg will share its genetic information with the fetus.
How does a developing baby get half of its genetic material from its father and half from its mother?
Dad contributes a sperm cell- which has half the genetic material, It fertilizes the egg from Mom- which has HER half of the genetic material. They join the two halves to become one whole.
