Question

Development of embryo in human body takes place in
(A) Ovary
(B) Oviduct
(C) Uterus
(D) Ostium

Answer 1

Hint: The embryo is defined as the development of an organism which is multicellular. The formation of an embryo begins right after the fertilization process. In the future, a new adult is formed from the embryo containing new tissues or organs.

Complete step by step answer:
Let’s discuss the question and find the proper answer.
After fertilization, the zygote reaches the uterus and after implantation, the development of an embryo takes place. The embryo becomes mature until the birth of the offspring. During this, a structure is formed in the uterus that is pouch-like and it provides nutrition to the uterus.

Additional information:
- Ovary: Ovary is the female reproductive organ from which ovum is produced. The ovum then goes through the fallopian tube into the uterus. It becomes fertilized when it comes in contact with the sperm. The ovary consists of an outer cortex and inner medulla.
- Oviduct: The pathway from the ovary to the outer side of the body is known as the oviduct. In the human fertilization system, this pathway is called the ovarian tube or fallopian tube. After fertilization, the egg or ovum is transported through the oviduct.
- Uterus: After fertilization, the zygote reaches the uterus and after implantation, the development of an embryo takes place. The embryo becomes mature until the birth of the offspring. During this, a structure is formed in the uterus that is pouch- like and it provides nutrition to the uterus.
- Ostium: The proximal opening of the fallopian tube of the uterus is known as the ostium. The occlusion is referred to as tubal proximal occlusion.
So, the correct answer is ‘(C) Uterus’.

Note: In plants, the development of an embryo is also called plant embryogenesis. There are mainly three parts of a plant seed produced from an embryo. These include embryo, endosperm, and seed coat.
