Question

Give the biological term for the following

Fixing of developing zygote on the uterine wall.

Answer 1

Implantation

• Fertilisation occurs in the fallopian tube of the female reproductive system.
• Soon after the fertilisation, the blastocyst forms a pit in the endometrial lining of the uterus and gets fixed in it in about a week's time after ovulation.
• This process by which the embryo attaches itself to the uterine wall is known as implantation.
