No. Before ovulation, the egg is simply a skin cell in the ovary. It is only once the egg ripens and is released (ovulation) that it can be fertilised. It must be fertilised within 48 (some say 24) hours of being released....

An ovum matures in the mother's body?

No, an ovum (egg) matures in the ovaries of a female before it is released during ovulation. Once released, it travels through the fallopian tube where it can be fertilized by sperm. If fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg can then implant into the uterus and develop into a pregnancy.


Fertilization of the ovum occurs where?

Fertilization of the ovum typically occurs in the fallopian tube, not long after ovulation. The sperm meets the egg in the fallopian tube, and fertilization usually takes place there before the fertilized egg then travels to the uterus for implantation.
