Question

The region of female reproductive tract where fertilization occurs is:

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fallopian tube

Fertilization is the process of fusion of male and female gametes to form the zygote. The process of fusion takes place in the fallopian tube/oviduct of the female reproductive tract. The egg released by the ovary travels to the fallopian tube and remains there for around 24 hours. The sperm travelling up to the fallopian tube can fertilize the egg while it is still present there.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
