The uniting of an egg and sperm cell is called
unification
The male reproductive cell that fertilizes the ovum is called a sperm cell.
Ovum has a layer of zona pellucida around itself. When a sperm enters the ovum, the cortical granules present in the ovum, causes the thickening of the zona pellucida. This prevents the entry of other sperms in the ovum and only one sperm is able to fertilize the egg.
There's no such thing. The sperm cell comes from a boy. Ovum is another word for egg cell which is in a girl. When a sperm cell finds an "ovum" it fertilizes it and it travels to the uterus to develop eventually into a baby.
Yes, in the singular they are. However, sperm cells are usually present in the tens of thousands, whereas there are usually only one ovum cell. That being said, each individual sperm cell is a separate cell.
The process of uniting an egg with a sperm is called fertilization. It occurs when a sperm cell penetrates the outer layer of an egg cell and fuses with the egg's nucleus, forming a zygote. This marks the beginning of a new organism's development.
The uniting is known as fertilisation of the egg by the sperm.

An ovum is typically around 80 times larger than a sperm cell. This size discrepancy is due to the differences in function and composition of the two cells, with the ovum containing the necessary components to support early embryonic development.
Meiosis.
No, it is called an ovum.

the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
the egg will move into a position then the sperm cell will move closer]
