Correct answer: C. About half way through the cycle
- A. At the beginning of the cycle
- B. About 20 days through the cycle
- C. About half way through the cycle
- D. At the end of the cycle
Explanation
The ovum or egg is released about halfway through the menstrual cycle, during ovulation.Ovulation is the process of the egg being released from the ovary. The egg then travels down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm, it will implant in the lining of the uterus and pregnancy will occur.If the egg is not fertilized, it will eventually pass out of the body through the vagina. This is called menstruation. So option C is correct.
