sex cell

The quote seems to echo Rose's distinction between a state biopolitics which improves the national stock through racist policies and liberal eugenics, where consumers choose a certain sex cell donor and make a personal choice about their desired child.

Without mating, there was no way for sperm, or a male sex cell, to fertilize the eggs so they would produce offspring.

Male fights Pollen grains from the Scots pine (right) may compete to fertilize a female sex cell. When pitted against another strain, pollen dubbed P595 faced a 46 percentage point drop in germination rate (left graph).

Reproduction begins when a female's sex cell--an egg--combines with a male's sex cell, called a sperm.

She can then observe meiosis, the cell division that gives rise to the pollen, the plant's male sex cells. Because they will later fuse with the female sex cell, or egg, the pollen grains (like the egg) contain only half the chromosome set and are thus easier to count than other cells, which contain the double set.

Like most animals, Cham Leck got its start when a female sex cell, or egg, joined with a sperm, or male sex cell.

During this time, the female produces an egg (female sex cell).

One set came from your father's sperm (male sex cell) and one from your mother's oocyte (unfertilized egg).

Larvae result when a pink-colored egg, or female sex cell, from a coral is fertilized (fused) by a male sex cell, or sperm, of the same species.

CHEMICAL Unique hormones (chemical messengers) that help sperm (male sex cells) penetrate an egg (female sex cell) vary between species.

It's created when a sperm cell (male sex cell) fertilizes, or fuses with, an egg cell (female sex cell).

When this cell fuses with another sex cell during fertilization, any of several things may happen.
