Fertilization in mammals occurs in 

The correct answer is 'Fallopian tube'

Key Points

• Fertilization in mammals:
  • Fertilization is the process where a sperm cell from the male fuses with an egg cell from the female to form a zygote.
  • In mammals, this process typically occurs within the female reproductive system.
  • The Fallopian tube is the specific site where fertilization takes place.
  • The zygote then travels to the uterus for implantation and further development.

Additional Information

• Ovary:
  • The ovaries are the female reproductive organs that produce eggs (ova) and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
  • Fertilization does not occur in the ovary, but it is the site where eggs are released during ovulation.
• Uterus:
  • The uterus is the organ where the fertilized egg (zygote) implants and develops into a fetus during pregnancy.
  • Fertilization does not occur in the uterus; it occurs in the Fallopian tube before the zygote reaches the uterus.
