Open in App
Solution

Fertilization:

  1. The sexual reproduction process combines male and female gametes each with a single haploid chromosome set to produce diploid zygotes.
  2. Sperm actively move around the female reproductive tract by swimming
  3. Having a tail in the semen helps to swim in the womb.
  4. Uterine suction and fallopian tube peristalsis help sperm movement.
  5. Cervical mucus is thought to help sperm swim in the female reproductive tract.
