Explanation:
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 process of fusion of the male and the female gametes is called fertilisation. The main motive of all living organisms is to produce offsprings to the next generation. In the sexual reproduction, the fusion of male gamete and female gamete forms zygote.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fertilization means the sperm has attached to and entered the egg.
