Hey there!

I'd be happy to help you out with your question. When it comes to the plural of "ovum," things can get a little tricky.

In general, "ovum" is a Latin word that refers to a single egg cell. When we're talking about multiple egg cells, we typically use the plural form "ova." So, in this case, the plural of "ovum" would be "ova."

It's worth noting, though, that "ovum" is often used in scientific contexts where Latin-based terms are common. In more everyday language, we might say "egg" or "eggs" instead.

I hope that clarifies things for you! Let me know if you have any other language-related questions.
