Do penguins lay unfertilized eggs?

No, female penguins do not lay unfertilized eggs. Penguins only lay eggs if they have mated with a male and the egg has been fertilized. The male and female penguin take turns incubating the egg until it hatches.


Is a unfertilized egg male or female?

Short answer: rarely. Long answer: First, understand that a newly-laid egg contains only one cell. The rest is a yolk (the food source for a growing embryo) suspended in (an?) albumen (the white). So it's a little odd to talk about a whole egg being alive, but let's go with it. The definition of "life" is a little squishy on the cell level. Something is usually considered alive if a typical one can reproduce, but a sperm cell is still considered alive before uniting with an egg cell. So initially, the unfertilized egg cell in an unfertilized egg is alive. But after the eggshell hardens and the egg is laid, it's anyone's guess. I wouldn't be surprised if there were research somewhere on when the egg dies, but unless parthenogenesis (roughly speaking, a virgin birth) occurs quickly, the egg's probably dead.


How many chromosomes are in an egg if the diploid number of the liver cell is 52?

An unfertilized egg would be 1N...so the organism that has a 2N number of 52 would have a 1N number of 26.


What happens to a released egg when it is fertilized and unfertilized?

if it is fertilized by sperm it becomes a zygote that embeds itself into the lining on uterus The placenta, which is especially prepared for this event once a month if it is not fertilized it breaks down after a couple of days which signals for the uterus to dispose of the lining in what is seen as menstrual bleeding.
