No, although that is one of the concepts that is so scary about advances in genetic engineering,
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being
the sperm cell unites with the egg and the egg and sperm cell combine and become a human being

The human egg or sperm cell is haploid and contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization (egg and sperm fusion), the zygote will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
No. That is not possible.
yes
Because when they meet they combine the 23 and 23 to get 46- the amount of chromosomes in a human being.
The first cells a human has are the egg and sperm, which combine and make a zygote. From there, the initial two cells begin dividing.
It depends upon the species. Human eggs and sperm each have 23 chromosomes.
The head of the sperm contains 23 chromosomes. This is where the genetic material is housed, which combines with the egg's genetic material to form a complete set of 46 chromosomes in the resulting zygote.
An zygote.
There are only two possible combinations of sperm that a male can produce. A single sperm will either be X bearing or Y bearing. If an X sperm splits one egg, the result will be female. If a Y sperm splits the egg, the result will be male.
