AI overview

An egg cell is the female reproductive cell that contains half the genetic information needed to create a new organism. It matters because when an egg cell combines with a sperm cell during fertilization, the two halves come together to form a complete genetic blueprint for a developing baby.

Een eicel is de niet beweeglijke, vrouwelijke gameet of geslachtscel. De mannelijke gameten, de zaadcellen, zijn beweeglijk, doordat ze flagellen bezitten. De biologische term voor 'eicel' is ovum (meervoud ova, van het Latijnse woord ovum dat ei of eicel betekent). Bij hogere dieren, inclusief de mens, ontstaan eicellen in de vrouwelijke geslachtsklieren: de eierstokken.
