Answer 1

Answer:

It is shed from the uterus during menstruation.

Explanation:

First of all, we need to talk about ovulation process. It happens once in a menstrual cycle, it refers to the release of an egg, due to hormones changes, which are called oestrogen. This way, the eggs produced are inside the ovaries, and they are continually growing during the first stages of menstruation, when they are ready to be fertilized, it must happen during the next 24 hours, otherwise, eggs are gonna be discarded, and the menstruation cycle starts again. So, during this 24 hours window pregnancy could happen or not. That's why the correct option is "It is shed from the uterus during menstruation".

Answer 2

What happens if an egg is not fertilized after being released from the ovary? It is absorbed again by the ovary. It is released again during the next cycle. It is shed from the uterus during menstruation. It implants into the uterus until sperm are present.

Every 28 days or so, one mature egg is released from the ovary. This is called ovulation. After the egg is released, it moves into the fallopian tube where it stays for about 24 hours. If the egg is not fertilized during that time, the egg disintegrates (breaks down) and menstruation (your period) begins 2 weeks later.
