The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pronuclei**: The question asks about the fusion of the male pronucleus with the female pronucleus. To answer this, we first need to understand what pronuclei are. The female pronucleus is derived from the egg (ovum), which is haploid, meaning it contains one set of chromosomes. The male pronucleus is derived from the sperm, which also contributes a haploid set of chromosomes. 2. **Fusion Process**: The fusion of the male and female pronuclei occurs during fertilization. When a sperm successfully penetrates an egg, the genetic material from the sperm (male pronucleus) and the egg (female pronucleus) come together. This process is known as syngamy. 3. **Identifying the Correct Term**: The term that describes the fusion of the male and female pronuclei is "syngamy." This is distinct from other processes like conjugation (which involves bacteria), penetration (which refers to the entry of sperm into the egg), and transduction (which involves the transfer of genetic material via viruses). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question regarding the fusion of the male pronucleus with the female pronucleus is "syngamy." ---
