During Fertilization Which Two Cells Join?

During a process called fertilization, an egg cell

egg cell
The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell, or gamete, in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, female gamete and a smaller, male one). The term is used when the female gamete is not capable of movement (non-motile).

and a sperm cell join together. The new cell that forms is called a(n) zygote.

What is joined during fertilization?

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 2n diploid cell called the zygote.

What is it called when two cells join together?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cell fusion is an important cellular process in which several uninucleate cells (cells with a single nucleus) combine to form a multinucleate cell, known as a syncytium.
