Question

Name the following:
Fixing of developing zygote on the uterine wall.

Answer 1

Events after fertilization in humans:

1. Fertilization of the ovum by a sperm in the fallopian tube results in the formation of a zygote.
2. The zygote travels towards the uterus and undergoes cell division resulting in the formation of the blastocyst.
3. The attachment of a developing zygote or the blastocyst to the uterine wall is known as implantation.
4. Implantation usually takes place about 5-7 days after ovulation.

Fixing of a developing zygote on the uterine wall is called implantation.
