STEPS IN FERTILIZATION:

(1) The ovary releases an egg

(2) A sperm enters an egg

(3) The fertilized egg travels out of the fallopian tube

(4) The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus.

REASONING:

(1) The ovary must first release an egg, because the sperm can not reach the ovary itself.

(2) The sperm must enter the egg in order for the egg to be fertilized.

(3) The fertilized egg must travel out of the fallopian tube. If it does not, they woman can experience serious problems during pregnancy.

(4) The fertilized egg must attach to the lining of the uterus, or else the fetus will have nowhere to grow.
