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: -During fertilization, male and female gametes fuse, producing a diploid (i.e., containing paired chromosomes) zygote.
Detailed explanation-3: -Through the process of fertilization, egg and sperm join to make a cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), called a zygote.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fertilization occurs when a sperm and an oocyte (egg) combine and their nuclei fuse. Because each of these reproductive cells is a haploid cell containing half of the genetic material needed to form a human being, their combination forms a diploid cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Sexual reproduction When these two gamete combine during fertilization, the result is a zygote, which then continues to develop into an embryo. Overview of the process of sexual reproduction.
