The sperms swims up into uterus and into the Fallopian tube

23
Q

Fertillsation

If an egg is present in the tube and a couple have sexual intercourse then one of the sperm cells may fuse with it

24
Q

Fertilised egg

A

The nuclei of the sperm and egg fuse together the women would be pregnant

25
Q

A

Zygote goes to a embryo and after 8 weeks it goes to a foetus

26
Q

Implantation

A

When the embryo attaches to the lining of the lining of the uterus

27
Q

Length pregnancy

A

The average length of pregnancy is 40 weeks

28
Q

Amniotic fluid

A

As the embryo develops in the uterus it is protected inside a bag of fluid and provides a cushion for the embryo

29
Q

A

A tube joining the embryo to the placenta

30
Q

Placenta

A

Is rich in blood cells

31
Q

Labour

A

The nucleus of each sex cell ( gamete) contain 23 thread like structures called chromosomes

40
Q

Genes

A

Chemicals found chromosomes that pass on info form parents to children
