A jelly-like coating ensures it does not stick to the sides of the tubes.
The egg is moved along by the cilia (hair-like structures).
A sperm penetrates the egg.
What happens during conception/fertilisation? Tick all that apply.
A sperm penetrates the egg.
The sperm meets the egg in the fallopian tubes.
The sperm loses its tail, which is no longer needed.
The egg and sperm fuse as one cell and continues along the fallopian tubes.
Between 4 and 5 days later, there is a mass of around 16 cells, which forms a ball of tissue called the blastocyst.
