Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fertilization usually occurs in the ____
A
ovaries
B
vagina
C
uterus
D
fallopian tubes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fertilization usually takes place in a fallopian tube that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes Many people think fertilization occurs in the uterus or ovaries, but this isn’t true. Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus. Fertilization happens when a sperm cell successfully meets an egg cell in the fallopian tube.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Fertilization occurs at ampulla isthamus junction due to paracrine signalling from tryosine kinase and lactoferrin which is instrumental in combining sperm with ovum.
