Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the key components of the human reproductive system: the male reproductive system and the female reproductive system.

Understand the function of the male reproductive system, which is primarily responsible for producing sperm. This occurs in the testes.

Recognize the function of the female reproductive system, which is responsible for producing ova (egg cells). This occurs in the ovaries.

Learn about the process of fertilization, which typically occurs in the fallopian tubes. This is where the sperm meets the ovum.

Clarify that the uterus is not the site of sperm production; it is part of the female reproductive system where the fertilized egg implants and develops during pregnancy.
