the fusion of sperm and ovum, which happens in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, not the uterus.

In simple words: the fusion of sperm and ovum, which happens in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, not the uterus. Getting Fertilisation clear matters because NEET questions on Human Reproduction & Reproductive Health usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
