Choose the correct answer.

Which of the following is the name of the joining together of a male sperm with a female egg in sexual reproduction?
A. Mitosis
B. Fertilization
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Fertilization occurs when a male sperm unites with a female egg to begin the process of reproduction of an animal. The fertilized egg is called a zygote. The zygote divides again and again and grows and develops into a new baby.

On the other hand, mitosis is the term for the cell division which occurs in asexual reproduction. It produces an identical offspring. No fusion of two different cells happens.
