The joining. of an egg and a sperm is called fertilization, and the cell that. forms is called a zygote (ZI goht). Generally, the egg and the. sperm come from two different organisms of the same species. Following fertilization, mitosis and cell division begins. A new. organism with a unique identity develops.
Development of the embryo begins at Stage 1 when a sperm fertilizes an oocyte and together they form a zygote.. [England, Marjorie A. Life Before Birth. 2nd ed. England: Mosby-Wolfe, 1996, p.31] Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception). Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell.
