Solution:
Parturition is the process by which the completely formed baby is delivered out from the uterus, at the end of pregnancy. It involves vigorous contractions of uterus, which enables the expulsion of the foetus.
Gestation is the period between conception and birth of the child. It is also known as pregnancy. The human gestational period is 9 months.
Ovulation is the process by which the ovum i.e. egg is released out from the Graafian follicle. It usually occurs on theday of the menstrual cycle.
Implantation is the process by which the blastocyst gets attached to the endometrium. It usually occurs 7 days after fertilization.
Conception is the process by which a zygote is formed by the fusion of egg and sperm i.e. fertilization.
