Although the egg passively awaits the arrival of the sperm, it thrives their unification and needs it in order to survive. The egg is not active in the way the sperm is, in that it does not move and search for the other, however, without the egg the two could not work to become one. The egg and the sperm are two entities that work together to create one product. The creation of this product needs both the passive and aggressive qualities of the gametes and therefore reproduction would not be possible without the individual characteristics of each.
