Transcript: Month 7 Month 4 This presentation shows what happens when a fertilized egg begins to form into a baby. In order for an egg to become fertilized, sperm must penetrate the egg. It takes about 24 hours for a sperm cell to fertilize an egg. When the sperm penetrates the egg, the surface of the egg changes so that no other sperm can enter.
