The correct answer is Option (1) - Internal Fertilisation
Reproduction in human beings occurs through Internal Fertilisation.
Internal Fertilisation:
- In humans, internal fertilisation takes place within the female reproductive system.
- During sexual intercourse, sperm cells are deposited in the female's reproductive tract.
- Fertilisation, the fusion of a sperm cell with an egg (ovum), occurs inside the female's reproductive organs, typically in the fallopian tubes.
- The fertilised egg, or zygote, then undergoes further development, leading to the formation of an embryo and subsequent stages of embryonic and fetal development.
The other terms mentioned:
- In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF): This is a reproductive technology that involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory dish before implanting it in the uterus.
- External Fertilisation: This occurs outside the body, usually in aquatic environments, and is common in many fish and amphibians.
- Ex Vitro Fertilisation: This term is not commonly used in the context of fertilisation.
