What is the name of the male part of a flower used to fertilize another plant?

When does fertilization of the ovum happen?

Fertilization of the ovum typically occurs within 24 hours after ovulation, when a mature egg is released from the ovary. Sperm must reach the egg during this window to successfully fertilize it, usually taking place in the fallopian tubes. Once a sperm penetrates the egg, fertilization is complete, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This process marks the beginning of embryonic development.


How does the nucleus of ovum divide?

The nucleus of an ovum does not divide in the same way as in typical somatic cells. Instead, during oogenesis, the ovum undergoes meiosis, where it completes the first meiotic division to form a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The secondary oocyte then arrests in metaphase II until fertilization occurs, after which it completes meiosis, resulting in another polar body and the mature ovum. Thus, the division of the nucleus in an ovum is primarily associated with the process of meiosis, rather than conventional nuclear division.

Why only one sperm cell can fertilized an ovum?

Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
