Question:
Which of the following statements about reproduction in humans is correct?
(a) Fertilisation takes place externally
(b) Fertilisation takes place in the testes
(c) During fertilisation, egg moves towards the sperm
(d) Fertilisation takes place in the human female
Solution:
(d) Fertilisation in humans takes place in the female body. The sperms of man are introduced by penis into female’s body through vagina.
The sperms then pass through the uterus and reach to oviducts. It is here, that sperm combines with egg to form zygote (i.e fertilisation occurs).
