This cell results from the union of an oocyte and a sperm during fertilization.
"Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell.
Finally, one thing that seems to be missing from this discussion is the fact that 65 diseases and conditions are currently being treated with non-embryonic (adult) stem cells (references here), and these same non-embryonic (adult) stem cells have shown remarkable pluripotency (i.e., ability to develop into several tissue types) in a number of studies.

 SSR - Induction, Deduction and the Scientific Method
It had virtually always (in modern times, of course) been assumed that the vertebrate oocyte grew to maturity as a passive occupant of the ovarian follicle, but Andy Nalbandov1 saw it otherwise.
To test this viewpoint he and his co-workers removed the oocytes from preovulatory rabbit follicles4 and found indeed that the follicle cells luteinized.
The absence of yolk in the mammalian oocyte, in fact, changed my own viewpoint of how reptiles may have evolved from amphibians and mammals from reptiles [18].
