    Sperm are female sex cells and ova are male sex cells
    Both are produced by ovaries

    Menstruation immediately stops
    The baby cannot develop in the uterus
    Sperm cannot be carried towards the penis

  • A student claims: 'Menstruation means that fertilisation has happened.' Why is this statement incorrect?
    Menstruation means a baby is developing
