O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/22

Explanation
Fertilization site in female reproduction
Steps:
- Ovulation releases the egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube.
- Sperm travel through the vagina, cervix, and uterus to reach the fallopian tube.
- The egg and sperm meet in the fallopian tube for fertilization.
- The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus for implantation.
Why B is correct:
- Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube (oviduct), where sperm penetrates the egg, as defined in reproductive biology.
Why the others are wrong:
- A (ovary): Site of egg production and ovulation, not sperm-egg union.
- C (uterus): Location for embryo implantation and development, post-fertilization.
- D (vagina): Entry point for sperm, but too distant for egg encounter.
Final answer: B
