The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the process of fertilization, we can break it down step by step: 1. **Depositing of Sperm**: For fertilization to occur, sperm are first deposited in the female **cervix**. This is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. 2. **Entry into the Vagina**: From the cervix, the sperm then enter the **vagina**. The vagina serves as the passageway for sperm to travel towards the uterus. 3. **Travel through the Uterus**: After entering the vagina, the sperm travel through the **uterus**. The uterus is the organ where the fertilized egg will eventually implant and develop. 4. **Journey to the Oviduct**: The sperm then travel to the **oviduct** (also known as the fallopian tube). This is the site where fertilization occurs, as it is where the sperm meets the ovum (egg). 5. **Site of Zygote Formation**: The oviduct is the site of zygote formation, where the sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote. Putting it all together, the complete answer is: "For fertilization to occur, sperm are deposited in the female **cervix**, then enter the **vagina** through the tube known as the **uterus** and travel to the **oviduct**, the site of zygote formation."
