Question

Site of fertilization in mammals is

• A. Ovary
• B. Uterus
• C. Vagina
• D. Fallopian tube

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fallopian tube

In mammals, the uterine tubes convey the ovum from the ovary to the uterus by peristalsis and ciliary movement. The mucus secreted by the lining membrane provides ideal conditions for movement of ova and spermatozoa. Fertilisation of the ovum usually takes place in the uterine (fallopian) tube, and the zygote is propelled into the uterus for implantation.

So, the correct answer is 'Fallopian tube'
