It's fertilized in the ampulla of the Fallopian tubes
Zygote is eormed by the fusion of male(sperm) and female gamete(ova).
Since sperm contribute only a haploid nucleus to zygote, but zygote require all the things to develop into a young ones. Hence all other things like food,nucleus etc. Due to this,ova is larger than sperm & non-motile[to save energy for zygote]
sex cells | gametes ; scientific name ovum, plural ova and sperm is spermatozoa, plural spermatozoon.
It become a diploid cell.It is known as the zygote
Ova cells are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells. This allows for the correct number of chromosomes to be restored upon fertilization when they combine with sperm cells, resulting in a diploid zygote.
parthenocarpic
Fertilisation is when the sperm cell and the ova fuse together to form a zygote.
It is reffered to as an "Ovum," the plural term is "ova." The word is derived from Latin, meaning egg or egg cell.
In humans, fertilization or union of gametes (sperm and ova) occurs in the anterior part of oviduct and zygote is formed
Ova, or egg cells, are specialized gametes that are produced through meiosis in females. They are larger in size and contain nutrient stores to support early embryonic development. This ensures that the resulting zygote has all the necessary components for successful fertilization and early growth.
The usual number of chromosomes in a baby's cell ( zygote ) is 46 . 23 chromosomes from both the male's reproductive cell ( sperm ) and the female's reproductive cell ( egg ) .
Sperm typically have 23 chromosomes, while ova (eggs) also have 23 chromosomes. When a sperm fertilizes an egg during sexual reproduction, the resulting zygote will have a total of 46 chromosomes, with 23 coming from each parent.
