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: -Egg and sperm cells have just 23 chromosomes each. That’s half as many chromosomes as regular cells. Through the process of fertilization, egg and sperm join to make a cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), called a zygote.

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 sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes combine into one diploid cell known as a zygote in a process called fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following is true of a zygote? The zygote is a fertilized egg. It is the first cell of a human embryo and contains the same amount of genetic information as all other somatic cells.
