In human fertilization, two 1n haploid cellsâan ovum (female gamete) and a sperm cell (male gamete)âcombine to form a single 2n diploid cell called the zygote.n fungi, the sexual fusion of haploid cells is called karyogamy. The result of karyogamy is a diploid cell called a zygote or zygospore. This cell may then enter meiosis or mitosis depending on the life cycle of the species.
Anyway, during ovulation in the womanâs uterus a lining is being formed for a fertilized egg to be accepted, so it could grow into a new individual ie a baby. A zygote is what is made when a released womanâs egg and a spermatozoid meet. This formation is called Zygote. Menstruation occurs when zygote is not formed i.e. when fertilization doesnât occur. So, if zygote is created, it means that pregnancy occurred and there would be no menstruation because you would be pregnant.
