After mating has occured, sperm must [[Copulation -Sperm in the Female Tract - Anatomy & Physiology|travel]] along the female reproductive tract towards the uterus in order to [[Fertilisation, Implantation and Early Embryonic Development -Fertilisation- Anatomy & Physiology|fertilise]] the oocyte. The sperm enters the oocyte and the male and female pronuclei fuse and divide repeatedly to form the [[Fertilisation, Implantation and Early Embryonic Development -Embryonic Development of the Blastocyst- Anatomy & Physiology|blastocyst]].
After mating has occured, sperm must [[Copulation -Sperm in the Female Tract - Anatomy & Physiology|travel]] along the female reproductive tract towards the uterus in order to [[Fertilisation, Implantation and Early Embryonic Development -Fertilisation- Anatomy & Physiology|fertilise]] the oocyte. A single spermatazoon penetrates the oocyte and the male and female pronuclei fuse to form an ootid which divides repeatedly to form the [[Fertilisation, Implantation and Early Embryonic Development -Embryonic Development of the Blastocyst- Anatomy & Physiology|blastocyst]].
