Where does meiosis occur in the female?
A
Cervix
B
Uterus
C
Ovary
D
Testicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meiosis occurs in the primordial germ cells, cells specified for sexual reproduction and separate from the body’s normal somatic cells. In preparation for meiosis, a germ cell goes through interphase, during which the entire cell (including the genetic material contained in the nucleus) undergoes replication.

Detailed explanation-2: -After ovulation, the fringelike end of the fallopian tube sweeps the oocyte inside of the tube, where it begins its journey to the uterus. If the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm as it is passing through the fallopian tube, it completes meiosis and forms a mature egg and another polar body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis occurs in the ovary, leading to the formation of the egg. From here, the egg travels through the Fallopian Tube where fertilization occurs.
