they are 2 difrent thing
The egg (oocyte) develops within a follicle in the ovary. This follicle ( derived from the Latin word for nest) is a thin-walled structure containing fluid, with the egg attached to the wall. Usually, only one follicle develops per month. This follicular growth can be monitored by vaginal ultrasound scanning.
Yes, it is the secondary oocyte that the sperm fertilizes. The secondary oocyte completes meiosis II to become a mature egg only after fertilization.
The egg or ovum is more correctly called an oocyte. It is referred to as an oocyte until it is fertilized by sperm, after which it becomes an embryo.
oocyte
A single egg is called an ovum or oocyte.
Unfertilized egg is haploid; but fertilized egg is diploid. That is why you sometimes see chickens even in commercial eggs.
"Oo" is the prefix for "egg" and "cyte" is the suffix for "cell," so an "oocyte" is an egg cell. It is the fundamental female sex cell, complementary to the male sperm.
A primary oocyte divides into a secondary oocyte and a polar body during meiosis I. The secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis II to produce a mature ovum (egg) and another polar body.
ovum is the product after the secondary oocyte fuses with sperm
the difference between a cell cycle and egg cycle is...
The primary oocyte divides into a secondary oocyte and a polar body during meiosis I. The secondary oocyte then goes through meiosis II to produce a mature ovum (egg) and another polar body.
