The process of gamete fusion is called fertilization. This process forms a diploid cell also known as a zygote.
ovum
A male or female reproductive cell is called a gamete. =-)
Another word for sex cells is gametes. A male and female gamete come together to form a zygote: the first cell of the new organism.
The process is called fertilization. This is when the sperm cell from the male fuses with the egg cell from the female to form a zygote.
Sex cells that unite are called gametes. In sexual reproduction, the male gamete, or sperm cell, fertilizes the female gamete, or egg cell, to form a zygote. This process combines genetic material from both parents to produce offspring.
ovaries. it's the female germ(gamete) cells. :)
ovum
A gamete. It might be a bit too broad though. In animals the male gamete is always a sperm. In most flowering plants the male gamete is also called sperm.
The female gamete in a plant is found in the ovule. Female gametes are known as egg cells or ova.
A male or female reproductive cell is called a gamete. =-)
The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.
All sex cells are gametes. Gamete is a synonym of sex cell. Male sex cells/gametes are spermatozoa (singular: spermatozoon). Female sex cells/gametes are ova (singular: ovum). So the answer is yes, an ovum is the female sex cell/female gamete.
