Fertilization is an important step in Sexual reproduction. The fertilization of male gamete i.e. sperm and female gamete i.e ova or egg results in the formation of a Zygote the first cell. The zygote is a diploid cell. (so a diploid cell is formed as a result of fusion on haploid cell so no. of chromosome remain constant in each generation). The zygote undergoes further development and forms embryo which after successive division and differentiation form a fully functional individual.
