1. Where does fertilization occur?

- Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, which connects an
ovary to the uterus. An embryo begins to grow if the fertilized
egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in
the uterus.

2. What is fertilization and ovulation?

- The release of a mature egg from the ovary is known as
ovulation. The egg goes down the fallopian tube after being
released and stays there for 12 to 24 hours, where it can be
fertilized. While fertilization is defined as the joining of two
haploid gametes, the spermatozoa and the oocyte, also known as
the egg, in order to restore the diploid state, form a zygote
through the process of egg activation, and begin a series of
mitotic divisions that leads to cell differentiation and embryo
development.

3. Explain the diagram during pregnancy.

- HCG injections in the luteal phase enhance estrogen and
progesterone production, with progesterone increasing first and
estrogen levels remaining higher for longer.
