Chapter 22, Problem 10LTB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The fertilization in humans is the process, in which the sperm and the ova meet in the fallopian tube to form a diploid zygote. For the fertilization to occur the sperm need to swim all the way through the female vagina, cervix, and uterus and then it needs to deliver the nucleus in the cytoplasm of the ova.
