Which of the Following is Most Related to Fertilization

Question

Which of the following is most related to fertilization?
A) Broad ligament
B) Implantation
C) Menses
D) 23 chromosomes plus 23 chromosomes

Accepted Answer

Fertilization involves the union of a sperm cell with an egg cell, resulting in the combination of their genetic material to form a zygote with 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs of chromosomes, each contributed by the parents). Therefore, the option "23 chromosomes plus 23 chromosomes" is most related to fertilization. The other options, the broad ligament (a supporting structure of the uterus), implantation (the process of attachment of the fertilized egg to the uterine wall), and menses (the shedding of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle) are all related to different aspects of reproductive physiology, but they do not directly involve fertilization.
