Solution and Explanation

1. Maturation of eggs: Ovary — The ovaries produce and release mature eggs (ova) every month.
2. Fusion of the egg and sperm: Fallopian tube (also called oviduct) — Fertilisation occurs here when a sperm fuses with an ovum.
3. Implantation of the zygote: Uterus — The fertilised zygote travels to the uterus and gets implanted in its thick, soft lining to develop into an embryo.
