A nurse is teaching a class regarding childbearing and contraceptive options. The nurse explains that fertilization of the ovum by the sperm occurs during a very specific time frame. Which statement best describes when fertilization occurs?

Hi !

When one sperm penetrates the wall of the ovum.

Fertilization occurs when one sperm penetrates one ovum, producing a viable zygote. Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, not when the ovum is expelled from the ovary or in the uterus. After the sperm penetrates the ovum in a fallopian tube, the impregnated ovum travels down the tube to the uterus.

answer; the above statement is (true);
