No, DNA isn't just found in the sperm and ovum. DNA is found in the nucleus of all cells in the body.

What enzyme is necessary for the ovum penetration?
sperm head= contains DNA; also has acrosome (an enzyme to digest the membrane of the ovum) aids in egg penetration.
DNA is found only in the what?
nucleus *DNA is located in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes, they have no nucleus. Also it is found in the capsule of certain virus proteins. It's in the sperm cell which has no nucleus as well.
How do you combine male DNA with female DNA?
When gametes meet - at conception the DNA is combined. The male gamete (sperm) carries DNA from the male, and the female gamete (ovum) carries DNA from the female. Male and female DNA are combined during sexual reproduction.
Where are the genes found in a sperm cell?
Any chance you're doing the BSB yr9 science homework? Back to the topic...Genes are found in the head of the sperm cell and about the egg cell...No clue LOL
What does a gamete and zygote have to do with DNA?
A gamete is a reproductive cell; ovum in women and sperm in men. These cell contain a haploid DNA condition, that is half the normal complement of DNA. A zygote is the result of the union of two gametes and this results in a diploid condition in which the zygote contains the full compliment of DNA necessary to construct a living organism.
What does the head of the sperm cell do?
The head of the sperm holds the DNA for the male as it swims to the ovum. The head of the sperm also has the acrosome, it contains enzymes that eats away and breaks into the ovum.

Why must fertilization occurs into fallopian tube before the ovum moves into the uterus?
An ovum or egg is what is called a 'gamete'. A gamete is a cell produced for sexual purposes by a special process of cell division called meiosis in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half. Thus the ovum has only 1/2 the amount of DNA needed to make new baby.In male's meiosis produces sperm and the joining together of the male's sperm and the female's ovum - fertilization - makes the new 'embryo' which now has the correct amount of DNA to make the baby.

Are chromosomes found in sperm?
Yes, that is how babies get DNA
Can you be pregnant if only some of the sperm came in you?
Yes, it is totally possibly but the probability is lower because in the stuff that's ejaculated there is stuff called sperm. Sperm is a substance that carries the male DNA and goes to a female ovum, female DNA. Men ejaculate so much of this to increase the odds, most sperm die in the acidic surroundings in about a week. the sperm does not know where to go ether so it wanders around waiting for the ovary to come to it. The more sperm that's ejaculated the more sperm surviving and the more sperm waiting for the ovary
What did scientists say about dolly the cloned sheep's DNA?
Dolly's DNA all comes from the same sheep. It was placed into an ovum from a second sheep; the ovum's DNA had been removed so as not to mix with Dolly's DNA. The ovum was implanted into a third sheep who gave birth to Dolly.

Why can differences in mitochondrial DNA be used as derived characters?
Derived characters are used to produce Information. Sperm Cells are too small to contain mitochondria so that the {in a fascinating way} the Dna that is only found in Mitochondria {in the Ovum} is not passed along to the male offspring. That's Why Sprite. So that was the Intro. If you can believe it the mitochondrial analysis shows that Humanity at one point {in Time} was at about one thousand Peoples.
Has one set of DNA?
Sex cells such as eggs and sperm only have one set of DNA.
