Egg + sperm = zygote (fertilized egg)
As a hypothetical: zygote does not belong in that list.
The zygote being the result, the egg and the sperm being the starting process.
Alternate answer:
It could also be debated that the sperm does not belong on the list as the other two are eggs (one fertilized, one not).
The cell formed after fertilization by sperm and egg is called a zygote. A zygote is a diploid cell, meaning a cell that has two sets of chromosomes (one from egg, one from sperm).
If a sperm cell containing an X chromosome combines with an egg, the resulting zygote will have two X chromosomes, typically resulting in a female. Sperm cells with a Y chromosome combine with an egg to create a zygote with one X and one Y chromosome, typically resulting in a male.
Two gametes – one egg and one sperm – are needed to fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. The egg carries genetic material from the mother, while the sperm brings genetic material from the father.
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.
Sperm successfully fertilizes an egg by swimming through the female reproductive tract to reach the egg in the fallopian tube. The sperm releases enzymes to break through the egg's outer layer, allowing one sperm to penetrate and merge with the egg's genetic material. This fusion forms a zygote, which eventually develops into an embryo.
a zygote is a fertilized egg. one that has formed by the fusion of an egg cell and a sperm cell
Zygote
The cell formed after fertilization by sperm and egg is called a zygote. A zygote is a diploid cell, meaning a cell that has two sets of chromosomes (one from egg, one from sperm).
If a sperm cell containing an X chromosome combines with an egg, the resulting zygote will have two X chromosomes, typically resulting in a female. Sperm cells with a Y chromosome combine with an egg to create a zygote with one X and one Y chromosome, typically resulting in a male.
After the production of a zygote through fertilization, the zygote undergoes multiple rounds of cell division to form a blastocyst. The blastocyst then implants into the uterus to continue developing into an embryo.
This is called the zygote. As it divides, it forms the embryo.
Only one sperm fertilises an egg in normal cases, abnormally there are chances of fertilization by 2 or more sperm cells but such a zygote usually does not survive.
One reproductive system alone does not produce a zygote. A human zygote is made from the joining of gametes (sperm and egg) from the male and female reproductive systems.
Two gametes – one egg and one sperm – are needed to fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. The egg carries genetic material from the mother, while the sperm brings genetic material from the father.
A fertilized egg is known as a zygote. Once fertilized the egg travels down the fallopian tubes to implant in the uterus, this takes around ten days and it's not until this point that a woman is considered to be pregnant. The zygote develops into an embryo, fetus, and then into a baby.
Only one sperm unite with the egg at a time and this process is called fertilization. A zygote is formed after this union which later on develops in to an embryo.
The term for the joining of an egg and a sperm is fertilization.
