All cells have cytoplasm. It is there to protect cell organelles and provide emergency water and nutrients. They may have more cytoplasm because they lack the hard structural cell membrane that plant cells have and they need the extra protection. They may also have it so they are flexible because animals are constantly on the move and need to be able to stretch and bend.

What type of cell must contain a mutation in order for the mutation to be passed from a women to her offspring?

The mutation must be present in the egg cell (oocyte) of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells from the father do not contain the cytoplasm that would carry the mutation.


How are egg cell adapted to do its job?

For one, it has lots of cytoplasm, to support the many divisions that it undergos. And the second adaptation, when a sperm cell interacts with it, the cell membrane changes immediately, to become impenetrable to any other sperm cells.


Where in the animal cell is the cytoplasm located?

the cytoplasm is what holds all the organelles together. its a liquid so its practically everywhere. for example think of a cracked egg. the yellow part in the egg is the nucleus of the animal cell the white part that surrounds it is the cytoplasm where all the organelles are. Hope this helped! : )


The nucleus and cytoplasm of a haploid sperm cell fuse with the nucleus and cytoplasm of a haploid egg cell in the process of?

fertilization. During fertilization, the genetic material from the sperm and egg combine to form a diploid zygote, which will develop into a new organism.


How does the egg cell specialized to carry out its job?

the egg cell is one of the largest cells in the body. the nucleus contains genetic information about the mother. there is a large store of food in the vacuoles. only one sperm can enter the egg cell any more sperm will be stopped from entering hope this is helpful holly x

Which contains more cytoplasm and needed chemicals egg or sperm cell?

An egg cell contains more cytoplasm and needed chemicals than a sperm cell. This is because an egg cell is larger and contains all the necessary organelles and nutrients to support early development after fertilization. Sperm cells are specialized for motility and delivering genetic material to the egg.

Why is a hard-boiled egg a good model for an animal Cell?

because it has a yolk which looks like a nucleus and a cell membrane and the egg part is like the cytoplasm.

What does animals cells look like?

An animal cell looks like a fried egg. The yoke is the nucleus and the while of the egg is the cytoplasm.


Why does the egg cell have cytoplasm with stored food in it?

The cytoplasm in the egg cell contains stored food reserves to provide nutrients and energy for the developing embryo once fertilization occurs. This is because the egg cell needs enough resources to support the early stages of embryonic development until it is able to obtain nutrients from its environment.


Does each egg and sperm cell contain a full set of 46 chromosomes?

No, each egg and sperm cell contain half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell, which is 23. When an egg and a sperm cell combine during fertilization, they create a new cell with the full set of 46 chromosomes.


What three parts make the egg a cell?

An egg is a cell itself, consisting of three main parts: the cell membrane (outer layer that encloses the cell), cytoplasm (gel-like substance inside the cell), and the nucleus (contains genetic material).
