Question

List down the sequence of events when the sperm enters the female reproductive tract? [3 Marks]

Answer 1

Answer:
During sexual intercourse, the penis releases semen, which consists of sperm, into the female reproductive tract through the vagina.
The sperm moves forward and reaches the uterus through the cervix with the help of its tail. [1 Mark]
The sperm spreads further in the fallopian tube and the journey towards the fusion of the gametes starts.
The sperm reaches the fallopian tube and finds the ovum. [1 Mark]
One of the sperm fuses with the ovum. The fusion of the sperm and ovum makes the zygote and this process is called fertilisation. [1 Mark]
