Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of ovulation: During ovulation, the ovary releases a secondary oocyte into the fallopian tube, where it is available for fertilization by sperm.
Recall the viability of the secondary oocyte: The secondary oocyte remains viable and capable of being fertilized for a limited time after ovulation due to its biological structure and energy reserves.
Learn the typical time frame: Research and studies in human reproduction indicate that the secondary oocyte is viable for approximately 12 to 24 hours after ovulation.
Eliminate incorrect options: Compare the given options (48 to 72 hours, 2 to 3 days, one week) to the known viability period of 12 to 24 hours, and rule out options that exceed this time frame.
Select the correct answer: Based on the biological viability of the secondary oocyte, the correct answer is '12 to 24 hours.'
