In Which Structure Does Fertilization Take Place

Question

In which structure does fertilization take place?
A) uterus
B) ovary
C) oviduct
D) cervix

Accepted Answer

Fertilization takes place in the oviduct, also known as the fallopian tube, where the released egg is typically fertilized by sperm. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus for implantation. The ovary releases the egg, but fertilization does not occur there. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus and does not play a direct role in fertilization.
