106 â A CHAPTER 4 Cell Reproduction Sexual Reproduction Another way that a new organism can be produced is by sex-ual reproduction. During sexual reproduction, two sex cells,sometimes called an egg and a sperm, come together. Sex cells,like those in Figure 9, are formed from cells in reproductiveorgans.Sperm are formed in the male reproductive organs. Eggs are formed in the female reproductive organs.The joiningof an egg and a sperm is called fertilization, and the cell thatforms is called a zygote (ZI goht).Generally, the egg and thesperm come from two different organisms of the same species.Following fertilization, mitosis and cell division begins.he joiningof an egg and a sperm is called fertilization, and the cell thatforms is called a zygote (ZI goht). Generally, the egg and thesperm come from two different organisms of the same species.Following fertilization, mitosis and cell division begins.
In humans all reproduction is sexual. It involves joining together haploid gamete cells from each parent with half the normal number of chromosomes to make a new cell containing both parents' genetic material. This is a diploid zygote. The cells from each parent that combine to form the zygote are called gametes. In humans, the male gamete is called sperm, and the female gamete is called an egg. When the gametes join they form a cell called a zygote.
