Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fertilization typically occurs within the fallopian tube where the sperm and egg meet and form a zygote.

The other options (ovary, vagina, upper uterus) are not the site of fertilization. The ovary produces the egg but it must travel through the fallopian tube to meet the sperm. The vagina is the site of sexual intercourse but it is not where fertilization occurs. The upper uterus is where the fertilized egg eventually implants and grows into a fetus, but fertilization occurs before the egg reaches the uterus.
