Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fusion of your father's sperm and your mother's egg is known as fertilization, which results in the formation of a zygote. Gene expression refers to the process by which genes are transcribed into RNA and then translated into proteins. Spermatization is not a recognized biological term. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence.
