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.
Both the egg (oocyte) and the sperm contribute genetically to the zygote. The egg carries half of the genetic material (23 chromosomes) and the sperm also carries the other half (23 chromosomes), resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes in the zygote.
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.
A zygote is the single cell that forms when a sperm fertilizes the egg. A zygote forms because a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.
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.

Sperm fertilizes the woman's egg cell.
A fertalized egg is a zygote.
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.
A zygote is the single cell that forms when a sperm fertilizes the egg. A zygote forms because a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.
A fertilized oocyte is called a zygote. This single cell is formed when a sperm cell successfully fertilizes an egg cell, combining their genetic materials. The zygote undergoes several divisions and developmental stages before eventually forming an embryo.
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.
The sperm fertilised the egg.
It is the sperm that fertilizes the egg that will determine the sex of your baby. Some sperm carry the X-chromosome and some sperm carry the Y-chromosome. If an X-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a girl. If a Y-chromosome-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy.
