Nothing much will happen. It will just stay there(if not fertilised) until menstruation occurs, which the ovum will disintegrate and be passed of the uterus through the vagina with the endometrium as blood.

What happens if an egg is not fertilized?

In the case of a mammalian egg (humans and so forth), the egg is absorbed into the bloodstream and disappears. If a woman's egg cell is not fertilized, then nothing special happens. The egg cell, the uterine lining, and a certain amount of blood get expelled. Then, usually within 2 weeks, the body prepares the uterus again and releases another egg cell. This process is called the menstrual cycle, or a woman's "period." When an avian egg is not fertilized, the egg will not hatch! An unfertilized egg will not hatch or grow into an animal. After a while, it decomposes. Unfertilized chicken eggs are sold as food.


Once an egg has been fertilized?

Does meiosis in females only complete if oocyte is fertilized?

The answer is yes. Female infants are born with primary oocytes that are stalled in prophase I until puberty. At the onset of puberty, the ovaries begin oogenesis. During oogenesis, three polar bodies and one functional gamete are produced. Oogenesis is achieved through meiosis. However, the ovulated secondary oocyte arrests in metaphase II and does not complete meiosis II until it is fertilized.

Can a chicken egg be fully formed inside another?

It takes 24 hours. The yolk, which is called an oocyte is produced by the hens ovary in a process we call ovulation. As the yolk is released into the oviduct it is fertilized by sperm deposited by the rooster up to 10 days prior to the ovulation. Fertilized or not, that yolk continues down the oviduct and is covered by the vitelline membrane, structural fibers and albumen in the magnus area of the oviduct. As this forming egg continues it's travel down the oviduct it rotates continually within the spiraling tube (oviduct) and this movement twists the structural fibers forming rope like strands called chalazae. two of these chalazae anchor the yolk in the very center of the albumen. As this egg gets closer to the end of the oviduct, the egg shell begins forming. Calcite is deposited around the albumen and yolk and in some breeds, bile ducts deposit color, which is why the egg can be white, brown or even green or blue. Once this is all done, the egg is laid by the hen through the cloaca also known as the vent. All this takes about 24 hours.


Why can a chicken egg hold so much weight?

Long eggs are a result of an extended period within the oviduct pf the hen. Older hens often lay long eggs simply because their aging oviduct is no longer as pliable as a younger hen.

For an egg to be fertilized it must join with the sperm within how many hours?

For an egg to be fertilized, it typically must join with the sperm within 24 hours. The egg is only viable for about 12-24 hours after it is released during ovulation. If fertilization does not occur within this timeframe, the egg will disintegrate and be expelled from the body.
