Answer:

During fertilization, the egg and sperm join, and a zygote is formed. Soon, the zygote develops into a new organism through mitosis and cell division.

Answer:

The union of an egg and sperm forming a zygote is known in biology as fertilization, during this process the zygote becomes a morula, meaning that the female reproductive cell divides after that union generating many other cells together into a solid ball of cells, giving rise to the embryo with the potential for development, fostered by chemical reactions among the sperm enzymes and the egg's plasma; mitosis and meiosis are included throughout the whole process.
