What else can I help you with?
The cell commonly called the egg or ovum is more correctly called?
The egg or ovum is more correctly called an oocyte. It is referred to as an oocyte until it is fertilized by sperm, after which it becomes an embryo.
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 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.
Is Oocyte haploid?
Unfertilized egg is haploid; but fertilized egg is diploid. That is why you sometimes see chickens even in commercial eggs.
What is the name of the cell that is ovulated?
The cell that is ovulated is called an egg cell, also known as an oocyte. It is released from the ovary during ovulation and can be fertilized by sperm to form an embryo.
What transports secondary oocyte toward uterus?
The fallopian tubes transport the secondary oocyte from the ovary toward the uterus. This process is facilitated by ciliary movement and muscular contractions within the fallopian tubes, which help propel the oocyte towards the uterus for potential fertilization.
Does meiosis in females only complete if oocyte is fertilized?
No, meiosis in females completes when the oocyte is ovulated, regardless of whether fertilization occurs. If fertilization occurs, the second stage of meiosis is completed by the fusion of the oocyte with a sperm cell. If fertilization does not occur, the oocyte degenerates and is eventually expelled from the body during menstruation.
What transport secondary oocyte to the uterus?
The transport of the secondary oocyte to the uterus is primarily facilitated by the fallopian tubes, also known as uterine tubes or oviducts. After ovulation, the fimbriae at the end of the fallopian tube help to capture the released oocyte. Ciliary action and peristaltic movements of the tube's smooth muscle then propel the oocyte towards the uterus, where it may meet sperm for fertilization or be expelled if not fertilized.
Once the oocyte has been release from the follicle?
Once the oocyte has been released from the follicle, it is swept up into the fallopian tube by the fimbriae. The oocyte then begins its journey towards the uterus, where it may be fertilized by sperm if present. If fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo implants in the uterus and pregnancy begins.
A primary oocyte is closely surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called?
Primary oocyte is surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called follicular cells.
