The union of gametes of opposite sexes during the process of sexual reproduction to form a zygote. It involves the fusion of the gametic nuclei (karyogamy) and cytoplasm (plasmogamy). The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote. A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of the nucleus. The creation of a single nucleus from multiple nuclei as a result of fusing the lipid bilayers that surround each nuclei. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The creation of a single organelle from two or more organelles. The merging of two pronuclei in a fertilized egg to fuse and produce a single zygotic genome.
