An egg is a mature female reproductive cell containing half the genetic material necessary for reproduction. A sperm is a male reproductive cell containing half the genetic material necessary for reproduction. A fertilized embryo forms when an egg and sperm unite, combining their genetic material to create a new individual with a full set of genetic information.
What else can I help you with?
When the ovum is fertilized by the sperm this is called?
When the ovum is fertilized by the sperm, it is called fertilization. This process involves the fusion of genetic material from the sperm and the egg to form a zygote, which will eventually develop into an embryo.
What does the embryo develop from?
The embryo develops from a fertilized egg, which is formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg cell during sexual reproduction. The fertilized egg undergoes cell division and differentiation to form the various tissues and organs of the developing embryo.
Can one mans sperm affect the outcome of a embryo from a different man?
No, once the embryo is formed, the genetic material from the sperm of the first man cannot affect it. The new embryo will carry genetic material only from the father whose sperm fertilized the egg.
When a sperm unites with an egg what is the fertilized egg?
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
How triplets develop?
Triplets occur when three separate eggs are fertilized by three separate sperm cells. Each fertilized egg develops into its own distinct embryo, resulting in three babies developing simultaneously in the womb. Triplets can be fraternal (developed from three separate eggs) or identical (developed from one fertilized egg that splits into three embryos).
When the ovum is fertilized by the sperm this is called?
When the ovum is fertilized by the sperm, it is called fertilization. This process involves the fusion of genetic material from the sperm and the egg to form a zygote, which will eventually develop into an embryo.
What does the embryo develop from?
The embryo develops from a fertilized egg, which is formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg cell during sexual reproduction. The fertilized egg undergoes cell division and differentiation to form the various tissues and organs of the developing embryo.
Is any part of a chicken egg sperm?
No, a chicken egg is not sperm. An egg is a female reproductive cell that is fertilized by a male sperm cell to form an embryo. In the case of a chicken egg, the yolk and the white are parts of the egg that provide nutrients and protection for the embryo to develop.
What is the term for fertilized egg of the womb?
the word that represents a womens fertilised egg is zygote. hope this helps
What is the order of development in which these go - fetus - fertilized egg - embryo?
fertilized egg,embryo, and fetus
What stage is the fertilisation egg termed to an embryo?
Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg fuse together during reproduction. The stage that the fertilized egg is termed an embryo occurs about 1 day after conception.
Is the egg white made out of sperm?
No it isn't. Eggs sold as food in grocery stores or supermarkets are not fertilized, they have received no sperm. The egg is produced entirely by the hen, with no contribution from the rooster. Even if the egg has been fertilized, the sperm is microscopic, and it only contributes to the genetics of the resulting embryo, not to the egg white.
Can one mans sperm affect the outcome of a embryo from a different man?
No, once the embryo is formed, the genetic material from the sperm of the first man cannot affect it. The new embryo will carry genetic material only from the father whose sperm fertilized the egg.
What happens to fertilized egg?
The fertilized egg becomes an embryo and later becomes a fetus.
How many egg cell will meet sperm cell?
To create an embryo ONE egg and ONE sperm must meet. Males usually produce millions of sperm Females usually produce just a small number of eggs (depends on the animal) Once a sperm has fertilized the egg all the rest of the sperm are prevented from entering the newly created embryo.
When a sperm unites with an egg what is the fertilized egg?
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
What is the product of the fusion of a sperm and an egg?
The fusion of a sperm and an egg forms a fertilized egg, also known as a zygote. This zygote contains a unique combination of genetic material from both parents and will eventually develop into an embryo.
