Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An ovum is capable of being fertilized by a sperm cell for approximately 12 to 24 hours after ovulation. Pregnancy occurs during ovulation, which marks the end of the follicular phase and the beginning of the luteal phase. There are physiological signs of ovulation, such as changes in cervical mucus and body temperature. Women with irregular cycles can get pregnant.

Day 1 of the menstrual cycle begins with the onset of bleeding.
