On this, she builds an `` egg compartment '' or `` egg cell '' which is filled with that famous pollen-and-nectar mixture called beebread.

Then, a group of eggs is deposited in a cavity in the beebread loaf and the egg compartment is closed.

The bottom part of a burrow has a number of side tunnels or `` cells '', each of which is provided with an egg plus a store of beebread.

One might well wonder why the `` public is always wrong '' and the question raised is about as awkward as the one concerned with the chicken and the egg.

The egg of an amphibian is typically surrounded by a transparent gelatinous covering secreted by the oviducts and containing mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharides.

In the wood frog ( Rana sylvatica ), the interior of the globular egg cluster has been found to be up to 6 ° C ( 11 ° F ) warmer than its surroundings which is an advantage in its cool northern habitat.

The male Colostethus subpunctatus, a tiny frog, protects his egg cluster which is hidden under a stone or log.

After a few divisions, the egg cell is placed into a uterus where it is allowed to develop into a fetus that is genetically identical to the donor of the original nucleus.

The egg is placed into a Petri dish where it develops into embryonic stem cells, which have shown potentials for treating several ailments.

It is formed into various shapes ( typically spheroid ), and stored in a small chamber ( a " cell "), with the egg deposited on the mass.

The cell is typically sealed after the egg is laid, and the adult and larva never interact directly ( a system called " mass provisioning ").

When the sperm breaks through the hard outer shell of the egg a new cell embryo is formed, which, in humans, grows to full size in 9 months.

The cane toad begins life as an egg, which is laid as part of long strings of jelly in water.

The rate at which an egg evolves into a tadpole is dependent on the temperature ; the pace of development increases with temperature.

His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side.

Cloning involves the removal of the nucleus from one cell and its placement in an unfertilized egg cell whose nucleus has either been deactivated or removed.

Dolly was born on 5 July 1996 to three mothers ( one provided the egg, another the DNA and a third carried the cloned embryo to term ).

The one whose egg does not break is believed to be in for good luck in the future.

Inside the ovary / ovaries are one or more ovules where the megagametophyte contains the egg cell.

In species that produce two morphologically distinct types of gametes, and in which each individual produces only one type, a female is any individual that produces the larger type of gamete — called an ovum ( or egg )— and a male produces the smaller tadpole-like type — called a sperm.

In contrast to a gamete, the diploid somatic cells of an individual contain one copy of the chromosome set from the sperm and one copy of the chromosome set from the egg ; that is, the cells of the offspring have genes expressing characteristics of both the father and the mother.

They nested in extremely dense and social colonies, laying one egg on bare rock.

Female Great Auks would lay only one egg each year, between late May and early June, although they could lay a replacement egg if the first one was lost.

For example, one popular Easter egg was in the Enchanter game, which involved collecting magic spells to use in accomplishing the quest.

She lays one egg which is incubated by the male.

Commenting on Rabbi Yosef Karo's permission to use egg matzah, the Rema responded "… in our communities, we do not knead ( matzah ) dough with fruit juice .… And one should not change from this unless in a time of emergency for the sake of a sick or old person who needs this " Those who follow this prohibition of eating egg matzah on Passover also include chocolate covered matzah, grape flavoured matzah and the many other varieties available.

Upon pollination, a pollen tube delivers sperm into the embryo sac and one sperm nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus.

Human sex cells ( sperm and egg ) have one complete set of chromosomes from the male or female parent.

Pokey has been referenced twice in the Hitman series of video games: in Hitman: Contracts as an obscure, esoteric easter egg, and more directly in Hitman: Blood Money, where an overheard conversation between guards has one inviting the other to look at the comics on a computer.

The placenta functions as a fetomaternal organ with two components: the fetal placenta, or ( Chorion frondosum ), which develops from the same sperm and egg cells that form the fetus ; and the maternal placenta, or ( Decidua basalis ), which develops from the maternal uterine tissue.

The genetic control of apomixis can involve a single genetic change that affects all the major developmental components, formation of the megagametophyte, parthenogenesis of the egg cell, and endosperm development.

The principal nutritional components are high-quality protein from the egg whites and simple carbohydrates from the refined sugar.

This part of the oviduct is lined with glands that secrete the components of the egg white.

Often, these components are of negligible cost ( egg shells, sand, a feather, etc.
