The egg contains a living cell and is the product of a living animal so is a biotic factor.
A fertilized egg is known as a zygote. Once fertilized the egg travels down the fallopian tubes to implant in the uterus, this takes around ten days and it's not until this point that a woman is considered to be pregnant. The zygote develops into an embryo, fetus, and then into a baby.
Whether or not an egg is living or non-living depends on whether or not the egg is fertilized. If the egg is NOT fertilized then the egg is non-living. However, if the egg has been fertilized then the egg is living since the fetus inside is alive.
It is necessary for an egg to be fertilized so the egg can hatch.
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Yes, a zygote is a fertilized egg.
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
A fertilized chicken egg is considered diploid, while an unfertilized chicken egg is haploid. Chickens are diploid when you are considering chromosomes.
A fertilized egg implants into the Uterus.
The sperm doesn't have to. Once the egg is fertilized it stays fertilized.
When a bird's egg is fertilized, a chick is developing inside.
If it remains unfertilised it is non living. However at the start of its existence it holds the potential to become part of a living thing.
