Q1 of 48 Page 21

Given below are the events in human reproduction. Write them in correct sequential order. Insemination, gametogenesis, fertilisation, parturition, gestation, implantation

The sequential order is as follows:

1. Gametogenesis: It is the process through which the precursor cells undergo cell division in order to form male (sperm) and female gamete (ovum).


2. Insemination: The entry of the semen into female either sexually or artificially.


3. Fertilisation: This is the fusion process of male and female gametes for the formation of an embryo.


4. Implantation: During this event, the embryo gets embedded into the uterus wall. This adherence of embryo to mother’s uterus provides nutrition and oxygen to the embryo.


5. Gestation: The period during which the growing embryo stays in mother’s womb is called gestation period. For humans, this period is about 9 months.


6. Parturition: The process of delivering the child is called parturition.
