Correct Answer

Explanation

When a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, the resulting cell is called a zygote. The zygote then begins to divide rapidly through mitosis, forming an embryo. This process is the first stage of development for most multicellular organisms that reproduce sexually. The zygote contains all of the genetic information from both parents and is the starting point for the growth and development of a new organism.
