  • Gametes (sperm and ova) are haploid cells. 

The zygote is endowed with genes from two parents, and thus it is diploid (carrying two sets of chromosomes)

  • The steps of fertilization in humans always involve the joining of an egg and sperm. 
  • In natural conception, the male sperm fertilizes the female egg inside the woman's body. 
  • While many think fertilization occurs in the ovary, it actually takes place in the fallopian tube just outside the ovary.
