If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it is implanted in the ___. uterus; ovary; fallopian tube ovary; fallopian tube; uterus fallopian tube; uterus; endometrium endometrium; uterus; fallopian tube

Answer:

The correct path through which an egg travels in the female reproductive system is fallopian tube -> uterus -> endometrium.

Explanation:

Once the egg/ovum is released by an ovary by the process of ovulation it is captured by the fimbria which is a part of fallopian tube. The ovum remains in the fallopian tube unfertilized and waits for the arrival of a sperm so that it could be fertilized. In case it is fertilized by a sperm to become zygote, it departs the fallopian tube within 3 to 4 days and ultimately reaches uterus which is also known as womb & implants itself in the wall of uterus known as endometrium. During this phase, the wall of endometrium becomes very receptive and glandular so that this zygote could get implanted in the endometrium for further development.
