Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. The egg and sperm are haploid, which means they each contain one set of chromosomes; upon fertilization, they will combine their genetic material to form a zygote that is diploid, having two sets of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization means the sperm has attached to and entered the egg.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fertilisation is the process of fusion of ovum (female gamete) and sperm (male gamete). In humans, fertilisation usually takes place in the fallopian tube. This results in the formation of zygote, or fertilised egg. This is an important event of sexual reproduction.
