Which is produced when an egg and a sperm unite during a plant’s life cycle?

When an egg and sperm unite, their nuclei combine in fertilization to form a zygote. The zygote is the first cell of the new diploid generation. A gametophyte produces the sex cells, meiosis makes cells with half the usual chromosome number, and a spore can grow into a gametophyte.
