Solution
Correct Answer:
Day 6-7
- Timeline: Fertilization usually occurs in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.
- Transportation: The zygote travels toward the uterus while undergoing cleavage divisions (2, 4, 8, 16 cells).
- Morula to Blastocyst: By day 4-5, it becomes a blastocyst.
- Implantation: The blastocyst reaches the uterus and adheres to the endometrial wall. This attachment and embedding (implantation) typically occur around Day 6 or 7 after fertilization.
