Accepted Answer

Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tube (also called the oviduct). Sperm travel through the uterus and into the fallopian tube where they may fertilize an ovum (egg) if one is present. Once fertilized, the zygote (fertilized egg) begins to divide and travels down the fallopian tube towards the uterus for implantation.
