zygote
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Zygote is immediately produced when an animal's egg cell is fertilized by the sperm.
When an egg is fertilized by sperm, it forms a zygote. The zygote is the first stage of development in a new organism and contains a unique combination of genetic material from both the egg and the sperm.
Sperm undergo a process called capacitation where they become more mobile and gain the ability to penetrate the egg. Once capacitated, sperm approach the egg and release enzymes that help break down the egg's outer layer, allowing a single sperm to penetrate and fertilize it. After fertilization, the egg undergoes changes that prevent other sperm from entering.
zygote
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
An unfertilized egg is called an ovum. It is a mature female reproductive cell that has not been fertilized by a sperm cell.
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Sperm
Zygote is immediately produced when an animal's egg cell is fertilized by the sperm.
No it isn't. Eggs sold as food in grocery stores or supermarkets are not fertilized, they have received no sperm. The egg is produced entirely by the hen, with no contribution from the rooster. Even if the egg has been fertilized, the sperm is microscopic, and it only contributes to the genetics of the resulting embryo, not to the egg white.
just after fertilization the egg becomes diploid and called as zygote.
Fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg unite.
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
The term that refers to an egg that has been fertilized by a sperm is "zygote." A zygote is the initial cell formed when a sperm cell successfully merges with an egg cell, marking the beginning of embryonic development. It contains a complete set of genetic material, half from the mother and half from the father.
