Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Implantation, or contact between the growing structure and the uterine endometrium, occurs approximately 8 to 10 days after fertilization. Four days after fertilization the structure is a zygote. Implantation does not occur on the 14th day of a typical menstrual cycle or 10 days after the start of a menstrual flow.
