1 Answer

Answer :

(i)In humans, the fertilisation of ovum takes place in ampullary-isthmic junction of Fallopian tube. The events that occur during the process of fertilisation are: (a) The sperm reaches the junction of ampulla and isthmus and comes in contact with zona pellucida layer of ovum. (b) Acrosome of sperm head release sperm lysin enzymes that dissolves corona radiata and digests zona pellucida layer and enters cytoplasm. (c) Entry of sperm stimulates secondary oocyte to complete its suspended second meiotic division, thus producing haploid egg or ovum and second polar body. (d)Nucleus of sperm and of ovum fuses to form a diploid zygote. (ii)Development of zygote up to implantation takes place in following sequenceCleavage division (mitotic) starts in zygote as it moves through the isthmus of Fallopian tube towards the uterus.This division results into 2, 4, 8 and 16 daughter cells called blastomeres.The embryo with 8-16 blastomeres is called morula.Morula continues to divide and transforms into blastocyst as it moves further into uterus.Blastomeres in the blastocyst are arranged into an outer layer called trophoblast and inner group of cells attached to trophoblast called inner cell mass.Trophoblast layer then gets attached to the endometrium and the inner cell mass gets differentiated as the embryo.After attachment, the uterine cells divide rapidly and cover the blastocyst. It leads to blastocyst’s embedding in the endometrium of the uterus. This is called implantation.(iii) Blastocyst stage implants in the uterus.
