Describe of process of reproduction/fertilization. - CORRECT
\| \| \| \| \| \| \|


ANSWERS ✔✔An oocyte is created through the process of
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


oogenesis. During ovulation, the ovum (mature oocyte) drops
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


into the distal third of the fallopian tube. During intercourse, the
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


sperm travels through the vagina, past the cervix, then into the
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


uterus. The sperm swims around to find the ovum in the distal
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


third of the fallopian tube. When the sperm finds the ovum, it
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


fertilizes the egg. When the nucleus of the fertilized cell splits, it
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


forms a zygote (day 1). For a few days, the zygote keeps
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


splitting until it gets to 16 cells, then it is called a morula. It
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


becomes at blastocyst at day 5 then implants into the
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


endometrium. This entire time the cell is traveling from the \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|


distal third of the fallopian tube to the fundus of the uterus.
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|
