Detailed explanation-1: -The male gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female’s reproductive system. When sperm fertilizes (meets) an egg, this fertilized egg is called a zygote (ZYE-goat). The zygote goes through a process of becoming an embryo and developing into a fetus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fusion of male and female gamete is known as fertilization. The male gamete is known as sperm and the female gamete is known as ovum. The sperm and ovum fuses to form zygote. The cells of zygote undergo rapid cleavage to form large number of cells which forms germ layers. The germ layers forms different organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of fusion of male and female gametes is called fertilisation. It results in the formation of zygote. The zygote develops to form an embryo.

Detailed explanation-4: -During fertilization, male and female gametes fuse, producing a diploid (i.e., containing paired chromosomes) zygote.
