Introduction:
Estrus cycle occurs in mammalian females. It comprises the recurring physiological changes that are induced by reproductive hormones. It occurs after sexual maturity and continues till death and is interrupted by anestrus phase or pregnancy. Some animals may display bloody vaginal discharge, but it often mistaken for menstrual cycle.

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.
|(A) Humans have some rather unique features to our reproductive behavior. One
strange one, relative to other animals, is female menopause. What might be the
selective advantage to this feature? (B) What selective forces may have led to the
evolution of menopause in humans?
Why is the ovum so much bigger than a sperm cell?
1)It already contains all the chromosomes that will determine the zygote's traits.
2)It must store enough food for the growth of the zygote into an embryo.
3)Its big size allows the sperm to locate it better inside the oviduct.
4)A big ega is easier to implant in the uterus after tertilization.
