In humans, fertilization is internal and usually takes place in which part of the female reproductive tract?
AAmpulla of fallopian tube
BCavity of the uterus
CCervix near the vagina
DCortex of the ovary
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Ampulla of fallopian tube
1. Human fertilization is internal, occurring in the oviduct (fallopian tube).
2. It usually takes place in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
3. The fertilized egg later moves to the uterus for implantation, so the uterus is not where fertilization happens.
4. The cervix and the ovarian cortex are not fertilization sites, so they are ruled out.
