First the sperm scatters the follicle cells around the egg and inserts only its head into the egg so that the tail breaks off. Following that an extra cell membrane forms around the egg to prevent other sperm from entering. The head then moves towards the nucleas in the egg, and both the nucleas of the egg and the sperm fuse together to form a zygote which divides repeatedly to form the embryo which later implants itself in the wall of the uterus resulting in pregnancy.

How does the sperm get in to the egg?
To get to the egg the sperm has to first go through sexual intercourse and then the sperm travels in a liquid till it reaches the fallopian tube where the egg is to get into the egg the sperm uses its tail. (only a brief way)
How long does it take for one sperm to get inside the egg?
It typically takes a sperm cell a few minutes to a few hours to travel and penetrate the egg. Once a sperm cell reaches the egg, it must undergo a process called fertilization which involves breaking through the egg's membrane before merging with the egg to form a zygote.
Can more than one sperm reach an egg?
No, generally only one sperm is able to fertilize an egg. Once a sperm penetrates the egg, the egg's protective layer prevents other sperm from entering. This ensures that only one set of genetic material combines with the egg to form a new individual.
How many sperm cell are needed for fertilization?
Only one sperm is required to fertilize an egg. One is both necessary and sufficient in order for an egg to be fertilized. But in order to be confident that one will make it, you need a certain minimum sperm count.
What is the process when sperm joining the egg called?
FERTILIZATION
What happens when the sperm cell reaches the egg cell?
When the sperm reaches the egg, they fuse together forming one cell and multiplying creating what is called the fetus.
Describe what happens to sperm in the uterus?
At conception, the sperm enters the egg and the DNA of the sperm merges with the DNA of the Egg cell.

What is the meaning of fertilazation?
Fertilization is when a males sperm cell reaches the woman's egg and enters it.
What process happens when the sperm cell meets the egg?
Meiosis.

What 2 cells created you?
A sperm and an egg.
what cell is bigger the sperm or the egg?
the egg is larger than the sperm cell
When can a sperm fertilize an egg and why?
When a fertile sperm reaches near a mature unfertilized egg, the capability of sperm to pears through the egg cell wall and discharge its nucleus makes it possible to fertilize the egg. This union of male and female gametes to form zygote is called fertilization.
What is meant by 'the egg will be dead after the sperm reaches the egg'?
its dead
What happens to the egg cell and sperm cell during the fertilization process?
They meet to form a zygote which is the first stage of maturity of a human. Hope this helps ;;; ;;;;;;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;; ;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;
