Well first the sperm has to be made by meiosis. Then it has to get to the egg and enter it [If you catch my drift.] Then after that the nucleus of both the sperm and the egg disappear and the chromosomes of both join together and a new nucleus forms. This creates a new dipliod cell, or a new organism in other words.
