Question

What is the common site of fertilization?

Answer 1

Fertilization:

1. Fertilization is the process of fusion of the male gamete or sperm with the female gamete or ova to form a zygote.
2. The sperm passes via the fallopian tube and joins the pellucida layer of the ovum to generate the zygote (fertilized egg).
3. Therefore, the site of fertilization is the ampullary-isthmic region in the fallopian tube.
4. A zygote is generated after the egg is fertilized.
5. The zygote then begins to divide and produces a cell mass known as a morula.
