Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase of the menstrual cycle if a woman were to have intercourse during this time, the thick mucus captures the man’s sperm, nourishes it, and helps it to move towards the egg for fertilization?
A
Follicular
B
Ovulatory
C
Luteal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Progesterone prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg to implant. If intercourse has taken place and a man’s sperm has fertilized the egg (a process called conception), the fertilized egg (embryo) will travel through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sperm can survive in a woman’s reproductive system for up to 5 days whether the woman is menstruating or not. Thus, even if a woman has sex during her period, sperm from ejaculation may remain inside her reproductive system and may fertilize the egg if ovulation occurs.
