Compare the amount of cytoplasm and number of organelles in ova to that in sperm?

The secondary oocyte (ovum) contains most of the cytoplasm and organelles from the oogonium. During spermiogenesis, the last phase of spermatogenesis, most of the cytoplasm and organelles are stripped from the newly formed sperm, except the nucleus, mitochondria, and acrosome (with lysosomic enzymes).
In other words, the sperm only "donate" their DNA and egg "donates" most of the other organelles. The egg is much larger and can contain more.

What is the fate of the three tiny cells produced during oogenesis?
They die and very quickly and this is because the embryo needs as much cytoplasm as it can get, so the cytoplasm from the polar bodies is taken from them, moved to the embryo and after that they soon deteriorate.
Do daughter cells compare in number with the original cell before mitosis?
Cells produced after mitosis are clones - genetically identical to the parents.
Do all animal cells contain the same type and quantity of organelles?
Organelles are contained within cells; each cell contains many of them. Some animals may by coincidence have the same number of organelles as another animal, but as a general rule they do not.
The largest number of bound ribosomes most likely would be found in a cell?
Yes. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for manufacturing proteins in a cell. Therefore, if a cell is producing a large amount of protein, it is probable that the cell has many ribosomes.
What happens to a 2n cell during meiosis?
2n in cytoplasm refers to the diploid number of chromosomes in a cell. Diploid means that two sets of chromosomes are present in the cytoplasm. In humans the diploid number is 46 chromosomes. This means that in human cells the 2n in cytoplasm is 46. In other organisms the 2n in cytoplasm can vary. For example: In fruit flies the 2n in cytoplasm is 8. In nematodes the 2n in cytoplasm is 6. In wheat the 2n in cytoplasm is 42.The 2n in cytoplasm can be used to distinguish between haploid and diploid organisms. Haploid organisms such as yeast have only a single set of chromosomes in the cytoplasm. Diploid organisms such as humans have two sets of chromosomes in the cytoplasm.
Cytoplasm in a sentence?
Cytoplasm is all of the substance of a cell outside of the nucleus. The cytoplasm contains a number of different types organelles such as the mitochondria. Most, but not all, cells have cytoplasm. Mature sperm are essentially devoid of cytoplasm.
Which organelle plays a part in protein synthesis?
There are a number of organelles that assist in protein synthesis. The main ones are ribosome and the codons which are found in the cytoplasm.
How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?
The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA
What are 3 pieces of data that you can compare from the summer Olympics?
Amount of metals, speeds, and the number of races won.
What organelles do cells have?
all cells, no matter what type or function have cells. think of the cell as a human being and the organelles as well organs. each cell has a variable number of organelles and the organelles have a highly specific function and they all cooperate with one another. the cell that contains organelles is chloroplasts.
Why do certain cells have a large number of certain organelles?
This is because certain cells have more needs and are specialized to whatever the body needs them to do. For example, in the Liver, cells are required to make a plentiful amount of Insulin and so therefore have Organelles to suit this need.

How do the numbers of protons and electorns compare in a normal atom?
The atomic number, proton and electron are all the same amount in an element.
How does the number of decimal places in the product compare to the number of decimal places in the factors?
When you multiply decimals, you just ignore the decimal until the end, then, to find the amount of decimal places in your answer, you add the amount of decimal places in both your factors
What are the 3 ways to compare plane figures?
Compare the number of sides and angles. Compare the types of angles. Compare the number of parallel lines.
What determines the number in types of organelles in a eukaryotic cell?
function
What determines the number and type of organelles in eukaryotic cell?
Function
