Q

What are the steps of fertilisation;

A
  1. Penis is inserted in the Vagina.
  2. As a result of copulation, semen is then ejaculated within the vagina.
  3. The semen then travels to the fallopian tubes to fertilise the egg.
  4. The sperm that reach the egg all have to penetrate the cell wall, in order for a single sperm to fertilise the egg.
  5. Membrane forms around the egg, preventing the entry of any more sperm.
  6. Once the egg is fertilised it becomes a zygote.
  7. The egg then attaches itself to the wall of the womb.
