It eventually becomes a fetus.
The nuclei of the egg and sperm cells fuse to form the fertilized egg.
The nuclei of the egg and sperm cells fuse to form the fertilized egg.
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.

It is called in vitro fertilization (IVF) when the egg and sperm are fertilized in a laboratory setting outside of the body.
There are 23 chromosomes in each the sperm and the egg. When they fuse, the resulting embryo will have 46 chromosomes.
A diploid cell called a zygote is formed with a sperm and egg fuse.
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
When the sperm reaches the egg, they fuse together forming one cell and multiplying creating what is called the fetus.
During fertilization, the sperm penetrates the egg by releasing enzymes that break down the outer layer of the egg, allowing the sperm to enter and fuse with the egg's nucleus. This fusion combines the genetic material of the sperm and egg to form a new cell, called a zygote, which will develop into a new organism.
Because the egg will attach to the the female wall and develop itself.
