Question

A)ovary.
B)uterine tube.
C)uterus.
D)vagina.

Accepted Answer

Fertilization typically occurs in the uterine tube (also known as the fallopian tube or oviduct). This is where the sperm and egg meet and fuse to form a zygote, which will eventually develop into an embryo and implant in the uterus. The ovary is where the egg is released during ovulation, but fertilization typically occurs after the egg has been released into the uterine tube. The uterus is where the embryo will implant and grow after fertilization, but it is not the site of fertilization itself. The vagina is the canal that leads from the cervix to the outside of the body and is not involved in fertilization.
