The female gamete is called what?
The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
What is the uniting of an ovum and sperm cell?
The uniting of an egg and sperm cell is called unification
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.
What do you call when the sperm and ovum join together and form a single cell?
Faulty Condom? ---------------------------------------------------------------- I don't really want to delete an answer so..... It's called a zygote.
A Female ovum and a Male sperm together make?

Is the female reproductive cell called sperm?
No, it is called an ovum.
The female gamete is called what?
The female gamete is called an ovum or an egg. This is the cell that is fertilized by the male gamete known as the sperm.
What is the uniting of an ovum and sperm cell?

What is the name of the male gamete of an animal called?
The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).
