Hi Abhishek,

• Fertilisation is the process of the male gamete (sperm) and the female gamete (ovum) to form a zygote.
• During copulation, the sperms are released into the vagina near the cervix of the uterus.
• These sperms actively pass through the passage of the cervix into the uterine cavity.
• Of the millions of sperms released into the vagina, very few are able to reach the upper parts of the oviducts. The rest die on the way and are absorbed.
• A few days after ovulation (12^th or 13^th day) are the most favourable for conception.
