What is the formation of sperm and egg cell called?
Under influence of follicle stimulating hormone from anterior pituitary, You have few egg cells and follicles getting to maturity and enlargement respectively. Egg cells mature by meiotic cell division. Also you have few follicles enlarged. The bigger follicle ruptures. Giving you mature ovum released in peritoneal cavity.
What is called the process of formation of gametes?
The process of formation of gametes is called gametogenesis. It involves a series of cell divisions and differentiations that ultimately produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg) with half the number of chromosomes of a normal body cell.
What is a fertilized egg cell called when it divides?
It is called a morula, and consists of the first 16 cells from the division of the zygote (fertilized egg). The individual undifferentiated cells are known as blastomeres, and form a hollow structure called a blastocyst. Once differentiation of cells occurs, the structure is simply called an embryo, and later a fetus.
The formation of the male sex cells or sperm is called a what?
The formation of male gametes or sperm cells is called spermatogenesis. This is a form a meiosis, in which four daughter cells are formed. The process takes places in the male reproductive organs, the testes. The female counterpart to this is called oogenesis, which produces one usable daughter cells, an oocyte or egg cell, (and three discarded cells called polar bodies) this process occurs in the ovaries.
What is the first age of an embryo of a egg?
The first stage of an embryo from an egg is the cleavage stage, where the egg undergoes rapid cell divisions without growth, producing smaller cells called blastomeres. This stage eventually leads to the formation of a multicellular embryo.
What is the process of egg formation called?
The process of egg formation in females is called oogenesis. It involves the maturation and development of immature egg cells (oocytes) in the ovaries.

What is The formation of the female sex cell or egg occurs in the ovaries called?
The formation of the female sex cell or egg occurs in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. Oogenesis involves the maturation of primordial germ cells in the ovary into mature eggs or ova.
If egg formation one cells resulting from meiosis becomes an egg and the others become?
sperm

What are unused female egg cells called?
Unused female egg cells are called polar bodies.
What kind of cells is produced during meiosis in the ovary?
germ cells
What are egg and sperm cells called?
They are called sex cells, or to be more scientific, gametes.
What are the names of cells in a egg from a woman?
There are no cells in the egg. The cell is the entire egg. It's called ova/ovum or eggs.
