Solution
- After ovulation, the ovum reaches the fallopian tube and fertilization takes place.
- The fertilized egg undergoes development and it is implanted in the uterus.
- The corpus luteum continues to grow and produces a large amount of progesterone.
- This results in pregnancy. Normally, it lasts for 280 days, at the end of which parturition (child birth) takes place.
