Which of the following can be fertilized to produce a zygote?
Secondary oocyte
What are unusable egg cells called?
Unfertilized egg is called an Oocyte. In a fertilized egg is called a Zygote.
Where is the oocyte found?
cryptosporidium spp, has oocyte which is passed in feces.
What transports secondary oocyte toward uterus?
The fallopian tubes also knows as the uterine tubes transport the secondary oocyte or the fertilized egg to the uterus.
Is Oocyte haploid?
Unfertilized egg is haploid; but fertilized egg is diploid. That is why you sometimes see chickens even in commercial eggs.
What do you call an egg that is not yet matured?
An unfertilized egg is called an oocyte. That is the proper term for an unfertilized egg from any creature. Chicken eggs do not need to be categorized this way as consumers would not need to know that chicken eggs can be purchased fertilized. They would assume the eggs were unfertilized. A fertilized egg is called a Zygote.
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.
What happens when oocyte is fertilized by two sperm?
It will not be a successful conception and the women will have a period at the end of her cycle instead of getting pregnant.
What is the term for fertilized egg of the womb?
the word that represents a womens fertilised egg is zygote. hope this helps
Is the primary oocyte diploid?
92 In women, gametogenesis begins in fetal life, but is arrested in prophase of meiosis I for years until just before ovulation. This arrested oocyte is called the "primary oocyte". The human genome consists of 23 chromosomes, and normal somatic cells in humans have two of each chromosome (2N) in the resting state. Since the DNA in the primary oocyte has already replicated and but hasn't undergone division yet, the cell contains double the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Therefore the primary oocyte has 92 chromosomes (4N). Keep in mind though, that just before ovulation, the cell will complete meisois I and be released as 2N (the other 2N is split off as the 1st polar body). This released cell (secondary oocyte) which is now 2N is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II until fertilized, where it will release a second polar body (which now only has 1N). The fertilized egg therefore has two copies of chromosomes, 23 from mother (from the original 92 you started out with), and 23 from the sperm.
What is the release of the secondary oocyte from the ovary called?
ovulation
What is a haploid female sex cell produced by meiosis called?
Oocyte
