Human fertilization is the union of ahuman egg and sperm, usually occurring in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. The result of this union is the production of a zygote cell, orfertilized egg, initiating prenatal development. ... The process of fertilization involves a sperm fusing with an ovum.

Explanation:
Fertilisation refers to the fusion of haploid male and female gametes to form a diploid zygote.Fertilisation occurs in the proximal region of the fallopian tube in humans. The process of fertilization involves the following steps:
- During copulation a male releases about 3.5 ml of seminal fluid that contain 200-300 million sperms into the vagina of the female by the process of ejaculation.
- These sperm start travelling towards the fallopian tubule. Only few sperms successfully travel through the acidic environment of the uterus.
- The ovum again thins out the number of sperms by the fertilizin -antifertilizin reaction.
- As soon as a sperm reaches the secondary oocytes , its acrosome attaches to the egg envelope and releases lysin that dissolves the layers surrounding the oocyte.
- after the sperm successfully penetrates the oocyte, cortical granules begin to appear in the egg cortex and forms a previtteline space. deposition of cortical granules in the previtelline space makes it impervious to any other sperm and prevents polyspermy.
- The entry of the sperm stimulates the secondary oocyte to complete the meiotic division and produce the mature ovum and second polar body.
- Then the sperm nucleus takes the copulation path and the nuclear membrane of both the male and female nuclei degenerate so that the chromosome can lie side by side.
- Then these chromosome mix up due to amphimixis and result in the formation of zygote.
