Gametes that are motile are often called?
A motile gamete is a sperm cell; it is motile because it has a flagellum and it swims around, and it is a gamete because, combined with the non-motile ovum, it can form a zygote and hence a new organism.
How does the gametes process differ between men and women?
In men, gametes are produced continuously throughout their lives via spermatogenesis, which occurs in the testes. In women, gametes are formed during fetal development and released monthly after puberty through oogenesis, which takes place in the ovaries. Additionally, men produce multiple small motile gametes (sperm), while women produce fewer larger non-motile gametes (eggs).
What is another name for an immature egg cell?
gametes, sex cells, haploid cells. the process is meiosis.
What is the difference between a male and a female sex cell?
Male sex cells are called sperm and are small, motile cells that carry genetic material to fertilize the female sex cell, which is called an egg or ovum. Female sex cells are larger, non-motile cells that contain genetic material and are typically produced in smaller numbers compared to male sex cells.
Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?
Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.

Can sperms fertilize the ovum when the ovum is dead?
No it can not.
How many sperm fertilize the ovum?
Typically, only one sperm fertilizes an ovum to form a zygote. Multiple sperm attempting to fertilize the ovum can lead to abnormalities in the resulting embryo.
Which is that sperm that fertilize the ovum?
The luckiest of all sperms makes it alive and fuses with the ovum.
What is another name for an immature egg cell?
gametes, sex cells, haploid cells. the process is meiosis.
Is an ovum a diploid or haploid?
ovum isalways haploid and when a haploid sperm fertilize it the embryo become diploid
Which of the following terms are types of gametes A sperm whale and an octopus B a human sperm cell and a human ovum C a spirochete and an otolith?
B. A human sperm cell and a human ovum are types of gametes. Gametes are reproductive cells that fuse during fertilization to form a new organism. In the case of humans, sperm cells are the male gametes and ovum (egg) cells are the female gametes.
What are Sex cells are called?
male=sperm Female=egg or ovum Zygote -- the cellular gruop formed after the joining of sperm and ovum
What is the function of hyaluronidase?
it is produced by sperms to help penetrate the ovum and fertilize it
What determines if a pregnant women has a male or female?
The sperm can have either X or Y sex chromosome. If the sperm with X chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get female baby. If the sperm with Y chromosome fertilize the ovum, you get male baby. Ovum always has got X chromosome in it.
Incomplete cells are called gametes the female gamete is called the?
ovum
