Solution

Dear student,

Fertilization is fusion of the male and the female gametes with each other to give rise to a single-celled zygote. Zygote is the diploid cell formed by the fusion of male and female gametes during fertilization in sexual reproduction. The zygote then undergoes repeated divisions to give rise to a new individual.

The process of fertilization in case of humans female takes place in the fallopian tube, where the fusion of a sperm and an ovum takes place.
Regards
