Detailed explanation-1: -An egg cell or ovum is a female reproductive cell that fuses with sperm in the process of fertilisation. This ovum develops into its mature form via a process called oogenesis. In viviparous animals, this ovum is fertilised inside the body of the females. Whereas, the embryo development takes place in the uterus.
Detailed explanation-2: -ovum, plural ova, in human physiology, single cell released from either of the female reproductive organs, the ovaries, which is capable of developing into a new organism when fertilized (united) with a sperm cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -In animals, egg cells are also known as ova (singular ovum, from the Latin word ovum meaning ‘egg’). The term ovule in animals is used for the young ovum of an animal. In vertebrates, ova are produced by female gonads (sex glands) called ovaries. A number of ova are present at birth in mammals and mature via oogenesis.
