<span>The sperm plasma then fuses with the egg's plasma
membrane, the sperm head disconnects from its flagellum and the egg
travels down the Fallopian tube to reach the uterus. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the womb, in vitro.</span>
Fertilization is the process by which haploid gametes (n- sperm and egg) fuse together to form a diploid cell called ZYGOTE. A gamete is a reproductive or sex cell produced by a sexually-reproducing organism during meiosis. Diploid organisms produce gametes that contains one set of chromosomes i.e haploid. Male organisms produce sperm while female organisms produce egg/ovum.
To ensure that the zygote, which grows into the full organism, has the correct number of chromosomes, only one sperm can fuse with one egg. It is worthy to note that, fertilization can either occur internally (union of sperm and egg within the body of the female parent) or externally (joining of gametes outside the body).
