Answer:
The process of combining the male gamete, or sperm, with the female gamete, or ovum.
- The product of fertilization is a cell called a zygote.
There are two types of fertilization-
- External fertilization-
- It is the fertilization where the eggs are fertilized outside the body of the organisms.
- They occur mostly in wet environments. It requires both the male and the female to release their gametes into their surroundings (usually water) and this process is called spawning.
- Eg- amphibians and fishes.
- Internal fertilization-
- In this type of fertilization the eggs are fertilized within the female reproductive tract.
- It helps in the protection of the developing egg.
- Eg- mammals and birds.
