Fertilization in humans is practically feasible only if
The sperms are transported into vagina just after the release of ovum in fallopian tube.
The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary – isthmic junction of the fallopian tube.
The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary – isthmic junction of the cervix.
The sperms are transported into cervix within 48 h of release of ovum in uterus.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the process of fertilization in humans and the conditions required for it to occur.Fertilization in humans typically occurs in the fallopian tubes, specifically at the ampullary-isthmic junction.Let's analyze each option:Option 1: The sperms are transported into vagina just after the release of ovum in fallopian tube. - This option suggests that fertilization is feasible if sperms are in the vagina right after ovum release. - However, fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, not the vagina. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Option 2: The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary – isthmic junction of the fallopian tube. - This option correctly identifies the location where fertilization occurs. - The simultaneous presence of both gametes at this junction is crucial for fertilization. - Therefore, this option is correct.Option 3: The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary – isthmic junction of the cervix. - This option incorrectly identifies the cervix as the site of fertilization. - Fertilization does not occur in the cervix. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Option 4: The sperms are transported into cervix within 48 h of release of ovum in uterus. - This option suggests that sperms need to be in the cervix within 48 hours of ovum release. - However, fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube, not the cervix or uterus. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Based on the analysis, the correct option is Option 2: The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary – isthmic junction of the fallopian tube.
