AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.

Model Answer

After release from the ovary, the egg passes through the following structures in order:

  1. Fallopian tube (oviduct) — carries the egg from the ovary towards the uterus; this is also the site of fertilisation.

The egg travels: Ovary → Fallopian tube (oviduct) — where fertilisation by sperm occurs.

Explanation

The question asks only up to the site of fertilisation, which is the fallopian tube/oviduct — so the uterus, cervix, and vagina are not required here. Examiners expect you to name the structures in order and identify the fallopian tube as the site of fertilisation. Mentioning both names (fallopian tube / oviduct) is good practice and shows complete knowledge. The 2 marks are typically split: 1 mark for naming the structure(s) in correct order, 1 mark for identifying the site of fertilisation.
