What is a fertilized female egg cell called?
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
How many sperm cells are necessary to chemically break down the egg cell wall?
Multiple sperm cells are involved in the process of fertilization, but only one sperm cell is needed to penetrate and fertilize the egg cell. Once the sperm cell penetrates the egg, it releases enzymes that break down the egg cell wall, allowing the genetic material of the sperm to enter the egg.
what cell is bigger the sperm or the egg?
the egg is larger than the sperm cell
What 2 cells created you?
A sperm and an egg.
What are the different types of sex cells?
The human gametes are the sperm cell (male) and the egg cell (female). The chromosomes carried by the sperm cell can have two forms, the X cell (female offspring) or the Y cell (male offspring). These combine with the egg cell, which virtually always carries only an X chromosome. So an XX cell would develop as a female, and an XY cell would result in a male offspring.
What does egg cell mean?
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
A woman is pregnant when?
When a sperm cell penetrates an egg, and then implants itself in the lining of the uterus, a woman is considered pregnant.
Sperm and egg cells result from a special type of cell division called?
Sperm and egg cells are the result of meiosis.
What is a fertilized female egg cell called?
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Where the egg fertilize on humans?
In humans, the egg gets fertilized by the sperm in the fallopian tube. If the sperm successfully penetrates the egg, conception occurs.
What is the biological requirement for reproduction for male and female?
The male produces sperm cells, which carry his genes. The sperm cell meets an egg cell from the female which carries her genes. The sperm cell penetrates the egg's outer layer. This is called "fertilizing" the egg. Normally, the outer layer of the fertilized cell thickens, so no more sperm cells can enter it. The fertilized egg then travels to the woman's uterus, where it attaches to the wall of the uterus and ultimately develops into a fetus.

How are babies actually made?
Through sexual intercourse. A man puts his penis inside a woman's vagina and thrusts it in and out until a fluid called semen comes out of his penis. The semen is filled with sperm. If one of the sperm cells finds the woman's egg cell, inside her vagina (one egg cell is released every month from the ovaries), and the sperm cell penetrates the egg cell and fertilizes it, then the cell starts developing into a baby.
What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?
The process when an egg cell and a sperm cell COMBINE is called Fertilization
What 2 cells created you?
A sperm and an egg.
what cell is bigger the sperm or the egg?
the egg is larger than the sperm cell
What does the cell membrane do in the sperm cell?
It fuses with the membrane of the egg cell, and the content of the sperm cell enters the egg cell.
