A new cell that forms from fertilization. Page 183
A
egg
B
zygote
C
haploid
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization is the process in which haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell called a zygote. To ensure that each zygote has the correct number of chromosomes, only one sperm can fuse with one egg.

Detailed explanation-2: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.

Detailed explanation-3: -In human fertilization, a released ovum (a haploid secondary oocyte with replicate chromosome copies) and a haploid sperm cell (male gamete) combine to form a single diploid cell called the zygote.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
