I assume you are referring to humans. If a pregnancy is to be successful the fertilised egg must implant itself in the wall of the womb.

What do you think would happen to a shell less egg if water passed into the egg though membrane?

If water were to pass into a shell-less egg through the membrane, the egg would likely swell and increase in size due to the influx of water. The osmotic pressure inside the egg would increase, potentially causing the egg to burst if too much water enters. This would be similar to osmosis in cells, where water moves from an area of higher concentration (outside the egg) to an area of lower concentration (inside the egg).


What does the uterus lining do to the fertillised ovum?

After fertilization, the uterus lining provides nourishment and protection for the fertilized ovum. The ovum implants in the uterus lining, where it receives nutrients and support for development into an embryo.


If an egg is fertilized by a sprem containing a y chromosome the fertilized egg?

If an egg is fertilized by a sperm containing a Y chromosome, the resulting fertilized egg will develop into a male organism. This is because the presence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male characteristics.


What would happen if more than one sperm were able to fertilize an egg?

In humans, only one sperm can fertilize an egg to form a zygote. If more than one sperm were able to fertilize an egg, it would result in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the zygote, leading to developmental issues and likely miscarriage. This phenomenon is known as polyspermy and is usually prevented by mechanisms in the egg that block additional sperm from entering once one has already fertilized it.


What do you call an egg that is not yet matured?

An unfertilized egg is called an oocyte. That is the proper term for an unfertilized egg from any creature. Chicken eggs do not need to be categorized this way as consumers would not need to know that chicken eggs can be purchased fertilized. They would assume the eggs were unfertilized. A fertilized egg is called a Zygote.

How can you determine that the eggs you get from the poultry farm are fertillised or un fertillised?

This is not something you can tell from the outside of the egg. A trained eye can locate the germinal disk on the top of the yolk once the egg is cracked into a bowl but unless you really know what to look for you will not see it. The best way to know is to ask the farmer where you purchase the eggs from if he keeps a rooster with the flock.


How can you obtain fertillised and unfertillised eggs?

What grows in the ovary waiting to be fertillised?

An ovum, also known as an egg cell, grows and matures in the ovary waiting to be fertilized by a sperm cell. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote begins to develop into an embryo.


Is feeling abdominal discomfort like period symptoms during around 9th day after ovulation in a 30-day cycle an early sign of pregnancy?

you could be feeling or have felt slight attachment pain, some women feel period like cramps when the fertillised egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. it could be a early sign of pregnancy but does not indicate that the pregnancy will attach successfully in which case the egg will leave with your normal period.


What would settle first pebbles boulders or sand?

Sand would settle first, as it has the smallest particle size and can easily compact together. Boulders, being the largest, would settle last due to their size and weight. Pebbles would settle between sand and boulders in terms of settling time.

Would a raw egg or a cooked egg break faster if you dropped the egg?

A raw egg would break 'faster' but it depeneds on what you mean by faster. If you mean it would break easier then yes, it would be a raw egg. This is because a cooked egg's calcium shell has become harder, thus the term 'hard boiled egg'.


Why the Nile river might seemed a poor place to settle?

Well, it depends where you settle. If you settle in the higher parts, then there would be too much rocks and you would have to move all of them. But, if you decide to settle on the lower ground would be a great place because it has soil, water, and everything else you may need.
