Open in App
Solution

  • Fertilization is defined as the process in which there is a fusion of male gamete and female gamete.
  • The male gametes or sperms are released from the male reproductive organ called penis
  • The sperms released enter the female body through the vagina.
  • From vagina, sperms travel through the fallopian tubes where they meet the eggs.
  • From there on, the process of fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube.
  • The male gamete cell (sperm) and female gamete cell (egg) fuse together to form a zygote.
  • The zygote divides rapidly to form a group of cells, which becomes the embryo after approximately five days. Then it develops into small baby called foetus.
