Yes, when the egg and a sperm cell meet fertilization has taken place
Answer:
In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
After the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in duodenum, the digested nutrients are absorbed in the ileum.
Ileum is a section of the small intestine, after duodenum.
Food is absorbed by diffusion and active transport. Villi on the walls of the ileum helps this process, since it can increase its surface area and provide a good blood supply, thus increase the rate of absorption.
Note that water can also be absorbed in the large intestine, those water absorbed there are the ones that cannot be absorbed in the ileum.
However, not all water is absorbed as we can notice that faeces are wet.
