The statement that fertilized eggs mature into a baby within the cervix is false. Fertilization occurs when the sperm penetrates the egg. Within 24 hours after fertilization, the egg begins dividing rapidly into many cells and remains in the fallopian tube for about three days. Implantation occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus and pregnancy begins. So, the correct statements is that the fertilized eggs mature into a baby within the uterus.
