What are the biological processes involved in ovulation and fertilization in the human female reproductive system?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the biological processes related to ovulation, fertilization, and the development of the female reproductive system, as indicated by the highlighted text in the image.
Answer
Ovulation: egg release; Fertilization: sperm meets egg in fallopian tube.
The biological processes involved in ovulation and fertilization in the human female reproductive system include the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation), transport of the egg through the fallopian tube, and fertilization by sperm if present.
Answer for screen readers
The biological processes involved in ovulation and fertilization in the human female reproductive system include the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation), transport of the egg through the fallopian tube, and fertilization by sperm if present.
More Information
Ovulation and fertilization are crucial steps for conception. Once an egg is released during ovulation, it can be fertilized if it encounters sperm in the fallopian tube. This fertilization forms a zygote, initiating pregnancy.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming fertilization always leads to pregnancy; it must also implant in the uterus.
