Feedback:
It is believed that all the ova a female will ever have are present at birth. The human ovum consists of protoplasm enclosed within a two-layered cell wall. The outer layer is the zona pellucida; the inner layer is the vitelline membrane. The ovum cell contains a large nucleus, within which is a nucleolus called the germinal spot. The ovum is larger than the sperm cell, and it is the only human cell normally visible to the naked eye.
