What is fertilisation, and where does it normally take place in a human being?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Fertilisation is the fusion of a sperm with an ovum to form a diploid zygote. In a human being it normally takes place in the upper third of the fallopian tube.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The zygote then divides as it travels down to the uterus, where it implants as a blastocyst.
