Solution

Fixing of developing embryo:
The process of fixing of developing embryo on the uterine wall is called implantation.
During fertilization, when the sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote, it travels down the fallopian tube, to become morula.
On reaching the uterus the morula becomes a blastocyst.
The blastocyst reaches the uterus and attaches itself to it and sinks into the uterine endometrium.
This process is called implantation.
