An ovum or egg is what is called a 'gamete'. A gamete is a cell produced for sexual purposes by a special process of cell division called meiosis in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half. Thus the ovum has only 1/2 the amount of DNA needed to make new baby.
In male's meiosis produces sperm and the joining together of the male's sperm and the female's ovum - fertilization - makes the new 'embryo' which now has the correct amount of DNA to make the baby.
That's the way ovum and the sperm prefer and that's the place normally it happens.
Fertilization occurs either in the fallopian tubes or the uterus.
Fallopian Tube
no idea it travels through the vagina, through the uterus, then through the fallopian tubes and fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes
Fertilization usually occurs in the upper 1/3 of the fallopian tube around day fourteen of the female's cycle. Implantation of the egg is usually in the uterus on day six.
Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes and implantation in the uterus. specifically in the endometrial lining.
The sperm usually fertilizes the egg in the Fallopian tubes. Then, the fertilized egg moves down to the uterus where it implants, causing pregnancy."The segment of the Fallopian Tube where fertilization commonly occurs is the ampulla."fallopian tubesIn the human body, fertilization of egg cells occur in the oviduct (also called the fallopian tube) of the female's reproductive system.
In the fallopian tube and uterus.
uterus and the fallopian tubes
Fertilization occurs in the Uterine Tube and Implantation occurs in the Uterus. Hope this help!
The fallopian tube is the typical site of human fertilization. It carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
The actual fertilization usually occurs in the fallopian tube. Fertilization occurs within 12-24 hours after ovulation. Ovulation usually takes place 14 days after your menstruation starts. Ovulation can vary from woman to woman it can happen before day 14 and after; it doesn't always have to be on day 14. Sperm can live for up 6 days in a fertile environment meaning that you can get pregnant by having sex 6 days before ovulation and one day after. leaving a 7 or 8 day window for pregnancy/fertilization to occur.
The uterus houses the fetus during pregnancy. The fallopian tubes are the site of fertilization, and carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
