No, DNA isn't just found in the sperm and ovum. DNA is found in the nucleus of all cells in the body.

What enzyme is necessary for the ovum penetration?

sperm head= contains DNA; also has acrosome (an enzyme to digest the membrane of the ovum) aids in egg penetration.


Why must fertilization occurs into fallopian tube before the ovum moves into the uterus?

An ovum or egg is what is called a 'gamete'. A gamete is a cell produced for sexual purposes by a special process of cell division called meiosis in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half. Thus the ovum has only 1/2 the amount of DNA needed to make new baby.In male's meiosis produces sperm and the joining together of the male's sperm and the female's ovum - fertilization - makes the new 'embryo' which now has the correct amount of DNA to make the baby.


What does the head of the sperm cell do?

The head of the sperm holds the DNA for the male as it swims to the ovum. The head of the sperm also has the acrosome, it contains enzymes that eats away and breaks into the ovum.


Are chromosomes found in sperm?

Yes, that is how babies get DNA


DNA is found only in the what?

Can you be pregnant if only some of the sperm came in you?

Yes, it is totally possibly but the probability is lower because in the stuff that's ejaculated there is stuff called sperm. Sperm is a substance that carries the male DNA and goes to a female ovum, female DNA. Men ejaculate so much of this to increase the odds, most sperm die in the acidic surroundings in about a week. the sperm does not know where to go ether so it wanders around waiting for the ovary to come to it. The more sperm that's ejaculated the more sperm surviving and the more sperm waiting for the ovary


Where are the genes found in a sperm cell?

Any chance you're doing the BSB yr9 science homework? Back to the topic...Genes are found in the head of the sperm cell and about the egg cell...No clue LOL


What did scientists say about dolly the cloned sheep's DNA?

Dolly's DNA all comes from the same sheep. It was placed into an ovum from a second sheep; the ovum's DNA had been removed so as not to mix with Dolly's DNA. The ovum was implanted into a third sheep who gave birth to Dolly.


Has one set of DNA?

Sex cells such as eggs and sperm only have one set of DNA.


The union of the ovum and the sperm is called what?

The union of the sperm and egg cell is caller fertilizationUnion of the egg and sperm cells is called fertilization. The egg then plants itself on the uterin wall. The two sets of DNA combine, then start replicating and dividing to make a baby.


Can two brothers with same genotype and blood group share the same DNA lab test?

Only identical twins from the splitting of the single ovum ( monozygotic) have identical DNA


What is the Location of genetic material in a cell?

DNA located in nucleus as well as mitochondria in the cell.
