A fertilized egg undergoes several stages before it is implanted. In which of the following structure of the female reproductive system is the egg fertilized?
A
Ovary
B
Uterus
C
Fallopian tube
D
Cervix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst . The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining-a process called implantation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Implantation: Moving to the Uterus The fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube for about 3 to 4 days. But within 24 hours of being fertilized, it starts dividing fast into many cells. It keeps dividing as it moves slowly through the fallopian tube to the uterus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Around day 14: Ovulation occurs. Within 24 hours of ovulation: Sperm fertilizes an egg (conception occurs). About six days after fertilization: The fertilized egg implants into your uterine lining. Around day 21: If conception and implantation occurred during this menstrual cycle, you’re pregnant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The germinal stage is the shortest stage of fetal development. It begins at conception when a sperm and egg join in your fallopian tube. The sperm fertilizes the egg and creates a zygote. The zygote begins its journey down to your uterus over the course of about one week.
