Typically, the egg is fertilized by a sperm during ovulation, which occurs once a month in the female reproductive cycle. If fertilization does not occur within 12-24 hours after ovulation, the egg will disintegrate and the woman will not become pregnant during that cycle.
A fertilized egg cell is when a sperm enters an egg. The result is a fertilized egg cell, or a zygote.
Zygote is immediately produced when an animal's egg cell is fertilized by the sperm.
When an egg is fertilized by sperm, it forms a zygote. The zygote is the first stage of development in a new organism and contains a unique combination of genetic material from both the egg and the sperm.
Sperm undergo a process called capacitation where they become more mobile and gain the ability to penetrate the egg. Once capacitated, sperm approach the egg and release enzymes that help break down the egg's outer layer, allowing a single sperm to penetrate and fertilize it. After fertilization, the egg undergoes changes that prevent other sperm from entering.
A sperm or egg alone can not develop into a new individual. Only an egg fertilized by a sperm does.
The gametes, or "sex cells" - the sperm and ovum (egg) - become the fertilized egg (zygote) when they fuse.
