What percentage of its chromosomes does a sperm cell contribute to a new embryo?
In a human, 23 chromosomes (formally known as the diploid number) - half the total in an embryo. The other half come from the egg.
What does an egg contribute to an embryo?
It is the mother's gamete. It contains the 23 chromosomes that she provides to the embryo.
What does a sperm cell contribute to an embryo?
A sperm is a haploid of 22 autosomes and 1 sex cell. So it gives the embryo half of its DNA.
What is the result of fertilization of a human embryo?
If a human egg (from the female) and a human sperm (from the male) join together, then the egg is fertilised by the sperm and a human embryo is created. This human embryo grows over 9 months into a baby.

Why changes that take place in a sperm cell or an egg cell can affect an embryo?
Because changes in the genetic make up of sperm or egg will lead to the changes in the zygote also. Since embryo develops from the zygote, those changes in the sperm or egg are reflected in the embryo also.
What is the cell that forms when and egg and a sperm join?
embryo

Can two embryo come from one egg?
Yes that is possible, it has happened twice to me!
What happens when the sperm enters an egg?
It takes many sperm to break the outer barrier of the egg, but only one to fertilize it. When that sperm meets the egg, their genetic material (chromosomes) combine to form 46 and the fertilized egg, zygote, beings to rapidly divide into a blastocyst. After about two weeks it is called an embryo, and after eighth weeks a fetus. After about 40 weeks, it is born and is called an infant.
