What does an egg contribute to the embryo that sperm does not?
An egg contributes the majority of the genetic material (chromosomes) needed for the embryo, as well as organelles like mitochondria for energy production. Sperm only provides genetic material.
What does an egg contribute to the embryo that a sperm cell does not?
An egg contributes the majority of the genetic material needed for the embryo to develop, including the mitochondria for energy production. In contrast, a sperm cell provides only half of the genetic material necessary for embryo formation.
What does a sperm cell contribute to an embryo?
A sperm cell contributes half of the genetic material needed for the embryo, including the father's DNA. Additionally, the sperm cell's mitochondria are typically discarded during fertilization, so the embryo mainly relies on the egg cell for its cellular organelles.
What percentage of its chromosomes does a sperm cell contribute to a new embryo?
A sperm cell contributes 50% of its chromosomes to a new embryo. Sperm cells are haploid, meaning they contain half of the genetic information required to create a new individual when combined with an egg cell during fertilization.
Can you mix two female eggs with sperm to create a viable embryo?
No, it is not possible to create a viable embryo by mixing two female eggs with sperm. An embryo can only be created by fertilizing a female egg with sperm from a male.

What does the fusing of an egg and sperm form?
An embryo.
What happens to leftover sperm when the egg has been fertilised?
After fertilization, most of the leftover sperm are blocked from entering the already fertilized egg by a protective barrier. The sperm cells that do make it through generally don't contribute to the genetic material of the embryo.
What does a sperm cell contribute to an embryo?
A sperm cell contributes half of the genetic material needed for the embryo, including the father's DNA. Additionally, the sperm cell's mitochondria are typically discarded during fertilization, so the embryo mainly relies on the egg cell for its cellular organelles.
Why changes that take place in a sperm cell or an egg cell can affect an embryo?
Because changes in the genetic make up of sperm or egg will lead to the changes in the zygote also. Since embryo develops from the zygote, those changes in the sperm or egg are reflected in the embryo also.
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 cell that forms when and egg and a sperm join?
embryo
What percentage of its chromosomes does a sperm cell contribute to a new embryo?
A sperm cell contributes 50% of its chromosomes to a new embryo. Sperm cells are haploid, meaning they contain half of the genetic information required to create a new individual when combined with an egg cell during fertilization.
Can two embryo come from one egg?
Yes that is possible, it has happened twice to me!
