This carries the egg to the uterus:
Correct answer: A. Fallopian tube
- A. Fallopian tube
- B. Ovary
- C. Cervix
- D. Vagina
Explanation
The structure that carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus is the fallopian tube, also known as the oviduct. After ovulation, the released egg travels through the fallopian tube, where it may encounter sperm for fertilization. If fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote will continue to develop as it moves down the fallopian tube toward the uterus, where it eventually implants into the uterine lining. If fertilization does not occur, the egg will not be fertilized and will be expelled from the body during menstruation.
