multiple choice
michelle and her husband are trying to conceive a baby. she knows she will be ovulating (when the egg is in the fallopian tube) on wednesday. when would michelle and her husband need to conceive the baby before the egg travels to the uterus?
by thursday
a month later
by saturday
the following wednesday

Explanation:

To determine the correct time for conception, we rely on the biological knowledge that an egg in the fallopian tube (during ovulation) has a short lifespan, typically around 12 - 24 hours (or up to about 36 hours in some cases) before it travels to the uterus and is no longer viable for fertilization. Since ovulation is on Wednesday, conception needs to occur before the egg loses viability, which would be by Thursday (within the next day or so). The other options (a month later, by Saturday, the following Wednesday) are inconsistent with the egg's short viability window.

Answer:

A. by Thursday
