Answer:
What part of the uterus becomes thicker in preparation for the implantation of
the fertilized egg?
B. Endometrium
Just prior to ovulation, the endometrium begins to thicken and to expand in response to the release of estrogen from the ovaries. As the embryo moves through the fallopian tubes, the endometrium proliferates, changes in shape, becomes receptive to implantation, and produces a hospitable environment for the embryo.
