This will also make the strongest ones with the "best" traits make those traits the [blank_start]most[blank_end] common.

40[blank_start]Fertilization[blank_end] is the union of [blank_start]two[blank_end] gametes. The [blank_start]sperm[blank_end] penetrates the [blank_start]egg[blank_end].

Then, through the process of [blank_start]cleavage[blank_end](several divisions), it becomes an [blank_start]embryo[blank_end], which is a multicellular lifeform [blank_start]not[blank_end] identical to either parent.
