The egg cell, also called the haploid cell, is the female gamete. A pair of gametes, egg and sperm, are what are needed in order for reproduction to occur.

Which of the following types of cells is a gamete egg muscle blood nerve?

A gamete is a reproductive cell, and in the case of females, the gamete is the egg. Muscle, blood, and nerve cells are somatic cells, which are responsible for various functions in the body but are not involved in reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer is that the egg is the gamete.


What is it called when the egg cell leaves the body with the lining of the uterus and a small amount of blood?

This process is called menstruation, and it occurs monthly in females of reproductive age. The shedding of the egg cell, uterine lining, and blood typically lasts for a few days and is a normal part of the menstrual cycle.


What is the difference between human skin cell and human egg cell?

Human skin cells are somatic cells that make up the outer layer of the skin and protect the body from external factors. Human egg cells, or ova, are reproductive cells produced by females for fertilization by sperm cells to form a zygote. Skin cells are diploid with 46 chromosomes, while egg cells are haploid with 23 chromosomes ready to combine with a sperm cell to form a new organism.


How many chromosomes would be in a fertilised egg if there were 194 from each body cell and 100 in each egg cell?

In a typical scenario, a fertilized egg receives half its chromosomes from the egg cell and half from the sperm cell. If there are 194 chromosomes in each body cell, the sperm would also have 97 chromosomes (half of 194). Therefore, the fertilized egg would have 97 (from the sperm) + 100 (from the egg) = 197 chromosomes.

Will the baby have the characteristics of an egg cell or the body cell?

The baby will have a combination of characteristics from both the egg cell and the body cell. The egg cell contributes half of the genetic material (23 chromosomes) and the body cell contributes the other half (23 chromosomes) to form a complete set (46 chromosomes) in the baby.


Why do females carry babies not men?
