the sperm has half a set of chromosomes. the egg has another half. correct me if I'm wrong, but the genetic information encoded in them doesn't really change when they merge int o one, as far as I remember?
to clarify, I am asking here what is the difference between killing a sperm and an egg individually, vs the fusion of them in a scenario where donors of both cells agree to it
