an egg cell and a sperm cell join together. Page 183
A
egg
B
sperm
C
fertilization
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When an egg and a sperm fuse, they combine into a new cell called a zygote. The zygote contains all the genetic information it needs to become a new individual. This new cell then divides over and over, eventually forming a complete organism with the same genes in each cell.

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: -zygote, fertilized egg cell that results from the union of a female gamete (egg, or ovum) with a male gamete (sperm). In the embryonic development of humans and other animals, the zygote stage is brief and is followed by cleavage, when the single cell becomes subdivided into smaller cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Egg and sperm travel in opposite directions to meet in (most often) the fallopian tubes. During ovulation, ovaries release an egg into one of the fallopian tubes, and the egg proceeds down the tube toward the uterus, which is being prepared for possible implantation.
