what are the cells surrounding the egg
An egg cell, also known as an ovum, is what biologists technically refer to as a female gamete; it is the cell contributed by the female of a species, which when combined with â¦ the male gamete or sperm, will become a zygote which is capable of growing into a new organism.hen the zygote (= fertilized egg) is formed and can begin to divide. Phenomenology gives us the characteristics of the ovum and sperm. There are no cells in humans that are so different and yet belong so much together.
