Chemically speaking, the egg and sperm are not pure chemicals. So in this sense, it is not really a chemical bond. However, the joining does trigger a number of chemical changes. In particular, the single strand DNA molecules in each combine to form a single double strand DNA molecule. So, it could be considered a chemical bond. That’s a really good question!! Keep it up!!
