Correct Answer
D. Between the uterus and the vaginaExplanation
The cervix is located between the uterus and the vagina. It is a narrow passage that connects the uterus to the vagina and plays a crucial role in reproduction. During menstruation, the cervix allows the blood to flow out of the uterus and into the vagina. During childbirth, it dilates to allow the baby to pass through from the uterus to the vagina. Additionally, the cervix produces mucus that changes consistency throughout the menstrual cycle, which helps sperm travel through the cervix and into the uterus for fertilization.Rate this question:

Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tubes. This is where the sperm and egg meet and the fertilized egg implants and develops into an embryo. The fallopian tubes are responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus, and it is in the fallopian tubes that the egg can be fertilized by sperm if intercourse has occurred. The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus for implantation.Rate this question:
