The ovum appears to provide the nutrition for the developing embryo up until implantation.<BR/><BR/>Another interesting fact is this - men make billions of sperm throughout their lifetimes, but women stop making ova prior to birth. IN other words, the gametes that became my new born daughter came from a sperm less than a week old and an ovum that was almost 30 years old. (actually, a bit older than that but don't tell my wife I said that).Serge (Rich Poupard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648112986475922045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-3362441977177694772009-03-14T16:44:00.000-07:002009-03-14T16:44:00.000-07:00Serge, i tried to find an answer through the inter...Serge, <BR/><BR/>i tried to find an answer through the internet but was unsuccessful. i thought you would know. <BR/><BR/>Why is an ovum much larger than a sperm? <BR/><BR/>My guess is that the ovum contains food (fat, protien and other nutrients) for the developing embryo until she can get food after implantation. Is that right?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-23621924626348650272009-03-03T00:56:00.000-08:002009-03-03T00:56:00.000-08:00Great job.Great job.Kyl Schalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954965854308545599noreply@blogger.com
