A child starts out as a one-celled organism called a zygote, which is formed when the father's sperm, containing half the father's genes, fertilizes the mother's egg, which contains half the mother's genes. So the process of fertilization, which occurs in the mother's fallopian tube, combines half of the father's genes and half of the mother's genes. After fertilization, the zygote divides into an embryo and makes its way to the mother's uterus (womb) where it is implanted and continues to grow and develop.
