The joining of an egg and a spermatazoan (sperm) is called fertilization.
The single cell formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg is called a zygote.
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.
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.
