The fertilized egg contains the genetic material of both the parent i.e. it has the best genetic composition out of the two available genes sets. This fertilized egg cell, after maturation, i.e. after growing into an adult will exhibit the same characters present in that fertilized egg. That's why a fertilized egg is the blueprint of future development.
