French term or phrase:ne rapprochons pas de sa forme celle du
De plus, dans toute l'échelle zoologique, l'ovule est sphérique (ne rapprochons pas de sa forme celle du « globule rouge » qui est circulaire, mais aplati, avec un renflement annulaire au bord).
Explanation: I think "rapprocher" is being used here in the sense of "to compare" - ie although the shape of the ovum is round, it should not be compared to the shape of red blood cells which are round, but slightly flattened.
I'm not sure it has to be a typo - literally I think it would mean 'let us not compare its shape to that of the ...' which makes sense in EN even if it sounds a bit cumbersome.
I wonder if it's a spelling mistake and should actually say "ne rapprochant pas de..." which would make more sense and fit in with savtrad's suggestion
