The cell formed when a sperm fertilizes an egg

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to bake a cake, but you only have flour and sugar separately. This is similar to how a zygote is formed when two separate cells, a sperm and an egg, come together. Just as mixing flour and sugar is the first step in creating something entirely new - a cake - the fusion of the sperm and egg creates a zygote, which is the first step in forming a new organism.
