    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_fertilization

    Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century. [2]

    Fertilization is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. The egg and sperm are haploid, which means they each contain one set of chromosomes; upon fertilization, they will combine their genetic material to form a zygote that is diploid, having two sets of chromosomes.

    Fertilization is defined as the fusion between the male and female gametes, that is, sperm and egg, thereby reestablishing the normal number of chromosomes in humans (46 chromosomes). For human fertilization to be possible, it is necessary that a man ejaculates inside the vagina of a woman.
