cell fusion is a useful tool in biotechnology.It is used in:
(i) to study the control of cell division and gene expression,
(ii) to investigate malignant transformations,
(iii) to obtain viral replication,
(iv) for gene or chromosome mapping and for
(v) production of monoclonal antibodies by producing hybridoma (hybrid cells between an immortalised cell and an antibody producing lymphocyte), etc

Cell fusion is a process in which we attempt to combine the protoplasm's of two cells. These two cells could be of the same or different types. Most often, different cell types are used. The principle behind this process is that by fusing two cells of different types, the newly created hybrid cell will have properties of both the parent cells. The process begins by placing the two cell types in a sterile container in the presence of a fusigenic agent - a substance that facilitates cell fusion. A commonly used one is PEG. Cell fusion has been successful in producing hybridoma cells - produces by the combination of mouse B cells and myeloma (tumor) cells. The result is immortal cells that secrete monoclonal antobodies.
the first animal-plant cell fusion was reported about 20 years ago, in which avian erythrocyte and tobacco protoplast were fused using high pH, high Ca2+ concentration and raised temperature.
A zygote is formed from the egg cell contributed by the female parent and an sperm from male parent. The fertilized egg is called a zygote, therefore, zygote is definitely a part of female reproductive cell.
The uses of an iron oxide in cement is to add color and and to give?æhardness and strength. It also helps in the fusion of raw materials during production.
The organelle that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell is called a chloroplast.
There are four main types of tissues in animals; epithelial, nervous, muscular, and connective.
Cells in a cell culture of similar genetic material are called clones. vectors can be the carriers of viruses . Plasmids are the extrachromosomal genetic material. Hybrids are the cells produced from the combination of two cells.
A cell that has fused with another cell through a process called cellular fusion.
The fusion card Yugi uses is called Polymerization.

Protoplasts are used as starting materials to transfer foreign genes into plants. Protoplast is usually isolated from a cell and inserted into the selected one in a process called protoplast fusion.
A cell culture is where cells are grown under controlled conditions.

Karyogamy is the fusion of the nuclei in the cell, while Plasmogamy is the fusion of cytoplasm in the cell, but not the nuclei.
Inertial confinement fusion
In African culture they uses a lot of drums.
H-bombs
The most common example is the sperm and egg cell.
