∙ 11y ago
The cell formed by the sperm and the ovum is called a zygote. It is the earliest stage of human development and contains the complete set of genetic information from both parents. The zygote then undergoes cell division to form an embryo, which eventually develops into a fetus.

How much larger than a sperm cell is an ovum?
assuming you mean a sperm and not a cingular cell of a sperm, it is about 1/18th the size of an ovum.
A zygote is formed from the fusion of what two cells?
The most common example is the sperm and egg cell.
What is formed when an sperm fertilizes an egg?
Zygote
Is a zygote dibloid or haploid?
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
When the sperm meats with the egg what is this called?
Fertilization is the process describing the union of the sperm cell and the ovum.
What a sperm cell of ovum is called?

What happens with zygote?
A Zygote is the cell formed when two gamete (or sex cells) are joined by sexual reproduction. The zygote develops into the baby. The zygote is only the initial stage of the development of the offspring. Usually, a zygote if formed by an ovum and sperm. The ovum being the female sex cell and the sperm being the male's.
How are a zygote and an ovum different?
Ovum is mainly 1n and zygote formed by fusion of ovum and sperm is 2n ,,,
A zygote is formed from the fusion of what two cells?

Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?
Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
What is formed when an sperm fertilizes an egg?

Is the female reproductive cell called sperm?
No, it is called an ovum.
What is the cell division that take place in the sperm and ovum?
Meiosis.

What is the function of the egg cell and sperm cell?
the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
What is the uniting of an ovum and sperm cell?
The uniting of an egg and sperm cell is called unification
