The fertilized egg cell is called a Zygote.
It is called a morula, and consists of the first 16 cells from the division of the zygote (fertilized egg). The individual undifferentiated cells are known as blastomeres, and form a hollow structure called a blastocyst. Once differentiation of cells occurs, the structure is simply called an embryo, and later a fetus.
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
An unfertilized egg is called an ovum. It is a mature female reproductive cell that has not been fertilized by a sperm cell.
Zygote
A fertilized cell is when a mature ovum (egg) is fertilized by a sperm. It becomes a fertilized cell. The sperm enters the ovum and the tail drops off. Then mitosis occurs and the cell continues to develop.
The egg cell is called a zygote once it has been fertilized.
It is called a zygote.
It's called a zygote.
No, a gamete is a reproductive cell (sperm or egg) that has half the number of chromosomes as a regular body cell. A fertilized cell is called a zygote, which forms when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.
The process of transformation of the first cell of a new individual into an adult involves cell division and differentiation. The single cell divides multiple times, giving rise to various specialized cell types that form tissues and organs. As cell division continues, cells differentiate and take on specific functions, eventually leading to the development of a fully formed adult organism through growth and maturation.
The cell division that occurs after fertilization of a pig egg cell is called cleavage. During cleavage, the zygote undergoes multiple rounds of cell divisions to form a ball of cells called a blastocyst.
