What is the direct result of this biological process? duplication of genetic material formation of mutations within cells fertilization of an egg with a sperm

The direct result of the biological process of fertilization of an egg with a sperm is the formation of a zygote. This process involves the fusion of the male and female gametes, resulting in the combination of their genetic material. The zygote formed is the first cell of a new organism and contains a complete set of chromosomes from both parents.
