Difference between a sperm cell egg cell fertilized egg and zygote?

Answer 1

A zygote is formed by the fusion of male and female reproductive cells. A embryo is a young organism in the early stages of development. A foetus or fetus ia a developing baby from about eight weeks after conception and a ovum is a female sex cell (egg in other words) (plural: ova)

Zygote: Cell that is formed from the fertilization of a sperm and an egg, basically its a fertilized egg

Embryo: Unborn baby, before it becomes a fetus

Fetus: Fully formed baby (inside mum still) with head, fingers, no tail..

Answer 2

To distinguish between a zygote and an embryo it is important to know that a zygote is the first process in the development of a newborn. The embryo is formed from the zygote about 8 weeks after fertilization.

Answer 3

A zygote is a fertilized egg, i.e. an egg cell and a sperm stuck together. An embryo is a fetus before it actually looks like a baby.

Answer 4

There is none. A 'zygote' is the scientific term given to a fertilised egg.

Answer 5

zygote is formed by fusion of male and female gametes and embryo is formed when a zygote is more developed .

Answer 6

A zygote is synthesized from the union of two gametes, and constitutes the first stage, Zygotes are usually produced by a fertilization event between two haploid cells.

Answer 7

Fertilization is the process of two gametes fusing. A zygote is a diploid cell that results from fertilization.

Answer 8

A sperm cell is a male sex cell that fertilizes an egg cell, a female sex cell, forming a fertilized egg. This fertilized egg is called a zygote, which is the first stage of a developing embryo.
