Nouns denoting natural events.

Creation by the physical union of male and female gametes; of sperm and ova in an animal or pollen and ovule in a plant.

Nouns denoting natural events.

Fertilization in flowering plants occurs through fecundation of the egg cell by a sperm nucleus carried to the egg in the pollen tube.
Fecundation is a critical event in the reproductive cycle of all living organisms, resulting in the fusion of male and female gametes.
The process of fecundation in humans involves the penetration of the outer layer of the egg by the sperm, allowing fertilization to occur.
In plants, fecundation typically occurs in the female gametophyte, which is contained within the ovary of the flower.
Artificial fecundation techniques have been developed to facilitate fertilization in the absence of natural mating behaviors.
