FERTILIZATION
A fertalized egg is a zygote.
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
The cell formed after fertilization by sperm and egg is called a zygote. A zygote is a diploid cell, meaning a cell that has two sets of chromosomes (one from egg, one from sperm).
They are called sex cells, or to be more scientific, gametes.
Nothing unless it is united with a sperm cell
To get to the egg the sperm has to first go through sexual intercourse and then the sperm travels in a liquid till it reaches the fallopian tube where the egg is to get into the egg the sperm uses its tail. (only a brief way)
The moment when sperm fertilizes an egg is called conception.
Conception or fertilisation are both terms applied to the fusing of sperm and egg.
