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 an egg contribute to the embryo that sperm does not contribute?

A period.


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 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.


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.


What is the name for a fertilized egg cell in sexual reproduction?

embryo


What is the cell called that begins the process that forms an egg?

embryo


How is an embryo produced?

An embryo is produced through the process of fertilization, where a sperm cell from a male fertilizes an egg cell from a female. This results in the formation of a zygote, which then undergoes cell division and development to become an embryo.


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.


How an embryo transplant can be used to clone a cow?

· An egg is taken from the 1st cow · The egg cell nucleus is removed · A body cell is taken from a second cow · The body cell's nucleus is put into the egg cell · The egg cell divides · The embryo is then put into a third cow (usually the mother who has been chosen to carry the child.)
