Fertilisation
Fertilization (also known as
conception,
fecundation,
syngamy and
impregnation) is the fusion of
gametes to initiate the development of a new individual
organism. In animals, the process involves the fusion of an
ovum with a
sperm, which first creates a
zygote and then leads to the development of an
embryo. Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in
internal fertilization, or outside (
external fertilization). The cycle of fertilization and development of new individuals is called
sexual reproduction.
