How does the nucleus of ovum divide?
The nucleus of an ovum does not divide in the same way as in typical somatic cells. Instead, during oogenesis, the ovum undergoes meiosis, where it completes the first meiotic division to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The secondary oocyte then arrests in metaphase II until fertilization occurs, after which it completes meiosis, resulting in another polar body and the mature ovum. Thus, the division of the nucleus in an ovum is primarily associated with the process of meiosis, rather than conventional nuclear division.
DNA is found only in sperm and ovum?
No, DNA isn't just found in the sperm and ovum. DNA is found in the nucleus of all cells in the body.
Is a human ovum a prokaryote?
No, a human ovum is a eukaryotic cell. Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have these structures. The ovum contains a nucleus with DNA and organelles like mitochondria that are characteristic of eukaryotic cells.
What is needed for a zygote to form what is this process called?
Zygote is formed by the unification of an ovum and a sperm.Sperm provides the nucleus whereas the oven provides the cytoplasm of the zygote.Union of a sperm and a ovum is called fertilization and zygote formed in this way is diploid in nature.
Is a egg a female?

What are facts about an ovum?

What does an OVUM look like under microscope?
An ovum, also known as an egg cell, is a large and nutrient-rich cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. When seen under a microscope, an ovum appears as a round cell with a distinct nucleus and cytoplasm. It is typically larger than other cells in the body and contains structures like mitochondria for energy production.
How does fertilization take place in flowers?
the pollen grain lands ot the tip of pistle called as stigma and then pollen tube from pollen grain germinates and it reaches the ovary through style(containing 2 male gamets).. then fertilisation takes place... or is when the male sex cells inside the pollen grains fuses with the female sex cells inside to produce a seed embryo Pollination transfers the pollen grain to the stigma. However, for hertilisation to take place, the nucleus of the pollen grain must fuse with the nucleus of the ovum, which is inside an ovule in the ovary. To transfer the nucleus to the ovum, the pollen grain grows a tube, which digest its way through the tissue of the style and into the ovary. Here it grows around the opening in an ovule. The tip of the tube dissolves and allows the pollen grain nucleus to move out of the tube and into the ovule. Here it fertilises the ovum (egg cell) nucleus.
What is the plural of ovum?
The plural of ovum is ova.
Can sperms fertilize the ovum when the ovum is dead?
No it can not.
