I would say zygote. When two gametes (Sex Cells) fuse they form a zygote as part of the reproductive cycle. So a sperm cell and an egg cell combined form a zygote.

the question asked what consists of an egg cell and a sperm cell but not the result of their fusion.. @JFlaus

But the question "What consists of sperm and egg?" is asking for something which is made up of sperm and egg. If we were asking for what a sperm or an egg was made up of we would say "What does a sperm and an egg consist of?". Theyre two different questions I think.
