In which part of human female reproductive system does fertilization occur?
- A
Ovary
- B
Cervix
- C
Uterus
- D
Fallopian tube
Fertilization occurs in ampulla of fallopian tube.
This option is incorrect. The ovary is responsible for the production of eggs (oocytes) but is not the site of fertilization. Fertilization occurs elsewhere after the egg is released.
This option is incorrect. The cervix serves as a passageway between the vagina and the uterus but is not involved in the fertilization process.
This option is incorrect. The uterus is where a fertilized egg implants and develops into an embryo, but fertilization itself does not occur here.
This option is the correct answer. Fertilization takes place in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, where the egg meets the sperm after ovulation.
