The ovum, or egg cell, carries half of the genetic material required for the formation of a new organism, specifically one set of chromosomes. It also contains cytoplasmic resources, such as nutrients and organelles, essential for early development after fertilization. Additionally, the ovum is surrounded by protective layers that facilitate fertilization and support the early stages of embryonic development.
