Chapter 26, Problem 5TYC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The region where the fertilization takes place.
Introduction:
Ovulation is defined as the process of releasing the egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube. The sperm and egg carry hereditary material of male and female parent, respectively.

An oocyte lives for only 24 hours after ovulation if it is not fertilized. The trip down the uterine tube, from infundibulum to uterus, takes about 72 hours. In light of this, where do you think fertilization normally occurs?
Darcy and Raul are having difficulty conceiving a child. Darcy ovulates every 28 days, and Raul’s sperm count is normal. If we could observe Raul’s sperm about an hour after ejaculation, however, we’d see that they appear to be moving only sluggishly. When Raul’s sperm eventually encounter Darcy’s oocyte, they appear to be incapable of generating an adequate acrosomal reaction.
Which process has probably gone wrong?
If one follows 50 primary oocytes in an animal through theirvarious stages of oogenesis, how many secondary oocytes wouldbe formed? How many first polar bodies would be formed? Howmany ootids would be formed? If one follows 50 primary spermatocytes in an animal through their various stages of spermatogenesis, how many secondary spermatocytes would beformed? How many spermatids would be formed?

- After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern: "If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?" She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)! At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick). Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg? In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy?
