Conception takes place when _____________.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To approach this question, I'll evaluate what constitutes conception in human reproduction from a typical biology standpoint.
Option 1: 'an ovum is fertilized by a sperm' This aligns with the common definition of conception as the moment the sperm fertilizes the egg, initiating a new genetic combination and the early steps of embryogenesis.
Option 2: 'a woman begins to produce milk' This describes lactation, which is unrelated to conception and occurs after pregnancy, not at its onset.
Option 3: 'a fertilized egg implants into the endometrium' Implantation happens after fertilization and is a critical post-fertilization step, but many sources distinguish conception as the fertilization event itself rather than implantation.
Option 4: 'none of the above' Since option 1 accurately reflects the standard conception event, this option is not correct.
Overall, the statement in option 1 most closely matches the accepted definition of conception, while the other options describe processes that occur later or are unrelated to the fertilization event.
