The egg s fertilized in the Fallopian tubes. These are small tubes that connect the ovary to the uterus. An egg is released from the ovary and travels into the Fallopian tube. A sperm cell travels up the uterus and meets the egg in the Fallopian tubes. They then become fertilized and the new zygote travels down the fallopian tube and attaches itself to the uterus wall. The baby then begins to develop.

Hope this helped :)

Yes, and if the fertilized cell survives, the female will become pregnant.

Does the mother or the father determine the sex of the offspring?

No, it is the male. The female eggs or ovum only have the x chromosone which develop into a female. The sperm have either an x chromosone or a y chromosone which carries the male sex determination. It is by chance and timing which one fertilized the egg first. If it is a x chrromosone then the offspring is a female. If the y chromosone fertilized the egg, then chemical changes occur resulting in a male fetus. No, it is the male. The female eggs or ovum only have the x chromosone which develop into a female.

How will the egg cell become fertilized?

An egg gets fertilized when a sperm from the male is allowed through the egg membrane and mixes its chromosomes with those of the egg from the female. With many egg producing creatures in the oceans, rivers, and lakes, the males and females release their eggs and sperm at the same time and they make the water cloudy. Some amphibians release their eggs and sperm from the leaves of trees and they drop in the water together. Some animals use internal fertilization. With birds and reptiles, the eggs are fertilized inside the female before the hard shell forms. Other beings that fertilize their eggs internally give birth to live babies.
