It can take 12 - 72 hours for human sperm to reach the egg.
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
No, sperm must travel through the fallopian tubes to reach and fertilize an egg. Without the tubes, the sperm cannot reach the egg for fertilization to occur.
The physical traits of a human sperm, such as its streamlined shape and long tail, are adaptations that help it move efficiently through the female reproductive tract to reach the egg. These traits indicate the challenging environment that the sperm must navigate in order to successfully fertilize an egg.
Sperm typically takes several hours to travel and meet the egg in the fallopian tube after ejaculation, so it is unlikely that a sperm can reach and fertilize an egg in just 2 seconds. The journey of the sperm to the egg is a complex process that requires time.
A human ;) But the human DNA is developed from the zygote, so when the sperm fertilizes the egg in the womb.
When the sperm enters the egg it's instantaneous.
Human sperm does not have legs. Instead it has a flagella, which is a tail-like structure, that helps it move around.
Sperm
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being

It takes up to 3 days for the sperm to get to the egg in the fallopian tube and fertilize it. And then it takes another week for the egg to travel down to the uterus and attach itself to the wall. And it's the sperm fertilizing the egg to create a Zygote, not the other way around..
The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
It typically takes a sperm cell a few minutes to a few hours to travel and penetrate the egg. Once a sperm cell reaches the egg, it must undergo a process called fertilization which involves breaking through the egg's membrane before merging with the egg to form a zygote.
We were once a combination of a sperm and an egg that fertilized to form a single cell, which eventually developed into a human being. So in a way, we are the result of both the sperm and egg contributing equally to our genetic makeup.
It depends. It can vary from an hour to 48 hours. It depends when the sperm were released and when the egg began to travel down the fallopian tube.
Sperm needs to travel about 4-6 inches from the cervix to the fallopian tubes in order to successfully fertilize an egg.
