Neither. The union of a sperm and egg is called fertilization. Both sperm and egg cells are sex cells that are produced through meiosis.
gametic (sperm or egg) cells do not carry out mitosis, instead they carry out meiosis. Mitosis gives a diploid number of chromosomes to each cell, meiosis gives a haploid number.
The part of meiosis that is similar to mitosis is inter-phase.
Meiosis occurs only in the gonads. Meiosis is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg cells) are produced in the gonads, while mitosis is the process by which somatic cells undergo cell division for growth and repair throughout the body.
No, wounds do not heal due to meiosis. Meiosis is a process of cell division that results in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells), while wound healing involves a different process called mitosis, in which cells divide and proliferate to repair the damaged tissue.
Meiosis and mitosis are types of cell division that involve the replication and division of chromosomes. Meiosis produces sex cells (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis produces identical cells with the same number of chromosomes. Sex cells have either X or Y chromosomes, determining the individual's sex.

Sperm enters the egg; egg turns because the 2 cells egg and sperm use mitosis to make more cells.
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
Meiosis only occurs in sex cells, which are the sperm and egg cells. Mitosis occurs in the somatic, or body, cells.
Gamates are know as the sperm and egg or "sex cells". These cells are the only cells in the body that undergo meiosis, not mitosis.
In mitosis, the end result is a DIPLOID chromosome. In meiosis, which is the process of forming new gametes (sperm and egg), the chromosomes split longitudinally at the centromere, resulting in a gamete which is HAPLOID, ie, it only has 50% of the normal number of chromosomes. When the egg and sperm unite, the resulting fertilized egg now has been restored to a diploidy.

Mitosis does not occur in sex cells, such as sperm and egg cells, as they undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis.
