The egg has to meet with a sperm cell to for a new individual.
As you may know, almost all our cells contain pairs of chromosomes - 23 pairs to be exact. These are called diploid. Haploid cells contain only one chromosome from each pair. Reproductive cells (both male and female) are haploid, so they can fuse and form a diploid cell with chromosomes from both the male and the female. The female reproductive cell (which is haploid) is the ovum, or egg cell.
The outermost part of the female reproductive system is the labia majora. It is a pair of outer fleshy folds that surround and protect the other external reproductive organs.
The egg cell, also called the haploid cell, is the female gamete. A pair of gametes, egg and sperm, are what are needed in order for reproduction to occur.

Fallopian Tubes
A female cat's reproductive anatomy includes a pair of ovaries, a uterus, and a vagina. The ovaries produce eggs, which travel through the fallopian tubes to the uterus where they can be fertilized by sperm. The vagina is the passage through which kittens are born.
the fallopian tube is a pair of tubes that carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus inside a womens body
In the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total); in reproductive cells there are only one half of the pair (or 23 in total). During fertilization the 23 from the male sperm cell fuse with the 23 from the female ovule and recombine as two pairs of 23 chromosomes (46 again in total). Normal human cells are diploid (2n), while sex cells are haploid (n)
Either of a pair of slender ducts through which ova pass from the ovaries to the uterus in the female reproductive system of humans and higher mammals.
The internal reproductive organs of a male include the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbourethral gland. In females, the internal reproductive organs consist of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina.
22 pair of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. A male determines the sex with XY chromosomes and the female only has YY. 23; half of the normal 46 for a cell. This is so when the male and female cells meet, they will form a normal 46-chromosome cell.
In organisms that reproduce sexually, their sex cells, or gametes, are haploid. This means they only have one copy of each gene. So gametes are cells that only contain one chromosome for each pair.
