Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization results in the formation of zygote. The male gamete cell (sperm) and female gamete cell (egg) fuse together to form a zygote. Zygote divides repeatedly to give rise to balls of cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -The function of fertilization is to create a diploid(2N) zygote. Fertilization by a sperm activates the ovum, which takes place in the distal third of the fallopian tube. Once the sperm has entered the ovum, immediate changes take place not to allow further penetration of the ovum.
