Meaning of Fertilization is a fusion of haploid gametes, egg and sperm to form the diploid zygote.
The fertilization process which occurs with in the body or through reproductive technologies outside the body, the overall product in both cases is diploid zygote.
Fertilization (or conception) is the beginning of human development. Fertilization normally occurs within several hours of ovulation(some authors report up to 24 hours) when a man's sperm combines with a woman's egg inside a woman uterine tube.
During ejaculation, hundreds of million of sperm (spermatozoa) are released in to the vagina. Almost immediately, million of these sperm are overcome by the acidity of vagina (approximate PH) 3.8 and million more may be blocked from entering the uterus by thick cervical mucus. Of those do enter, thousands are destroyed by phagocytic uterine leukocytes. Thus, the race into the uterine tubes, which is the most typical site for sperm to encounter the oocyte, reduced to a few thousands contenders. Their journey -thought to be facilitated by uterine contractions-usually takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours. If the sperm donor not encounter an Oocyte immediately, they can survive in the uterine tubes for another 3-5 days.
During Fertilization, the sperm and egg unite together .This fertilization takes place in fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches uterus, the morula become a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining a process called Implantation.
