Fertilization.
✓

Answer

  1. Fertilization forms the zygote which eventually produces new offspring.
  2. Fertilization restores diploid number of chromosomes in the zygote as two haploid gametes come together in a zygote.
  3. During fertilization, centrioles are passed on to the ovum, due to this secondary oocyte can complete meiosis-II. The fertilization thus concludes the process of oogenesis.
  4. By fertilization the genetic characters of two parents are mixed. This leads to variation and has significance in evolution.
  5. Due to fertilization the sex of young one is determined.
