What is the life expectancy of the sperm cell inside the female reproductive tract?
A
24 hours
B
48 hours
C
72 hours
D
92 hours
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The life span of sperm after ejaculation depends on the circumstances. Ejaculated sperm remain viable for several days within the female reproductive tract. Fertilization is possible as long as the sperm remain alive-up to five days.

Detailed explanation-2: -A healthy sperm can live from a couple of hours to as long as five days after intercourse. The lifespan of the sperm inside the vagina depends entirely on the environment they are in. The specificities of the woman’s uterus, vagina, and fallopian tubes determine the lifespan of the sperm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since sperm can only live for a maximum of 5 days in the female reproductive tract, only a small number of sperm will even survive the long journey through the female reproductive tract. Therefore, couples trying to conceive should plan to have intercourse a number of times in the days just prior to ovulation.
