Question:

Reproduction in Human Beings occurs through which type of fertilisation?

Options:

Internal Fertilisation

In Vitro Fertilisation

External Fertilisation

Ex Vitro Fertilisation

Correct Answer:

Internal Fertilisation

Explanation:

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.
