Answer 4

Sperm cells and egg cells are what are combining, so it can't be either of those. What are the respective definitions of spores and zygotes?

Answer 5

A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke"), is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes. The zygote's genome is a combination of the DNA in each gamete, and contains all of the genetic information necessary to form a new individual

Answer 10

given that the process outlined is a form of sexual reproduction (sperm and egg cells fusing) it MUST be a zygote.
egg and sperm are what joined, and a spore is a form of asexual reproduction.
