What is the name giving to the male reproductive cell that fertilises the ovum?
The male reproductive cell that fertilizes the ovum is called a sperm cell.
What is the uniting of an ovum and sperm cell?
The uniting of an egg and sperm cell is called unification
What is it called when an egg isn't fertilized?
An unfertilized egg is called an ovum. It is a mature female reproductive cell that has not been fertilized by a sperm cell.
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.
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 is the specialized sex cell in a female?
The specialized sex cell in a female is called an ovum, or egg cell. Each ovum is produced in the ovaries and contains half the genetic material necessary for fertilization. During ovulation, a mature ovum is released and can be fertilized by a sperm cell, leading to the formation of a zygote. The ovum is typically larger than sperm cells and plays a crucial role in reproduction.
