Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization happens in your fallopian tubes when an egg and sperm meet. An active passageway that moves a fertilized egg to your uterus: A fertilized egg (embryo) travels through your fallopian tubes until it reaches your uterus, where it can grow into a fetus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Contact between the egg and sperm is random. Once the egg arrives at a specific portion of the tube, called the ampullar-isthmic junction, it rests for another 30 hours. Fertilization-sperm union with the egg-occurs in this portion of the tube. The fertilized egg then begins a rapid descent to the uterus.
