Answer 2

Answer:

• Fertilization is defined as the process in which there is a fusion of male gamete and female gamete.

• The male gametes or sperms are released from the male reproductive organ called the penis.

• The sperms release and enter the female body through the vagina.

• From the vagina, sperms travel through the fallopian tubes where they meet the eggs.

• From there on, the process of fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube.

• The male gamete cell (sperm) and female gamete cell (egg) fuse together to form a zygote.

• The zygote divides rapidly to form a group of cells called morula, which becomes the embryo after approximately five days. The foetus is

present for about eight weeks after the fertilization.
