2.

Reproduction ensures the survival of a species and ensures that identical genes are passed on to offsprings.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Reproduction ensures the survival of a species by creating new individuals, but it does not necessarily ensure that identical genes are passed on to offspring. In sexual reproduction, offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents, resulting in genetic variation. This variation is important for the adaptation and evolution of a species. Therefore, the statement is false.

The release of ova from the ovary is
- A.
  
  Conception
- B.
  
  Copulation
- C.
  
  Ovulation
- D.
  
  Implantation
Correct Answer
C. Ovulation

Explanation
Ovulation refers to the release of an egg from the ovary. This is a crucial process in the female reproductive system, where a mature egg is released and becomes available for fertilization by sperm. Ovulation occurs approximately once a month during a woman's menstrual cycle. It is an essential step in the process of conception, as fertilization can only occur if the egg is released and meets with sperm. Therefore, ovulation is the correct answer in this context.

4.

A gamete is a cell
- A.
  
  Formed by fertilization
- B.
  
  Produced by mitosis
- C.
  
  With the haploid number of chromosomes
- D.
  
  With the diploid number of chromosomes
Correct Answer
C. With the haploid number of chromosomes

Explanation
A gamete is a cell that is formed by fertilization and it carries half the number of chromosomes as compared to the other cells in the organism. This is known as the haploid number of chromosomes. Gametes are involved in sexual reproduction and when they combine during fertilization, they restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the resulting zygote. Therefore, the correct answer is "with the haploid number of chromosomes".

What is the name of the structure labeled B on the diagram?
- A.
  
  Urethra
- B.
  
  Sperm duct
- C.
  
  Ureter
- D.
  
  Seminal vesical
Correct Answer
A. Urethra

Explanation
The structure labeled B on the diagram is the urethra. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body in both males and females. In males, it also serves as a passageway for semen during ejaculation.

7.

Which of the following is not an advantage of asexual reproduction?
- A.
  
  Genetic variation introduced
- B.
  
  Successful characteristics are passed on to off springs
- C.
  
  Often results in large numbers of off springs
- D.
  
  No need to find a mate
Correct Answer
A. Genetic variation introduced

Explanation
The correct answer is "Genetic variation introduced." Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or the exchange of genetic material, so there is no introduction of genetic variation. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, which can be advantageous in a stable environment but limits the ability to adapt to changing conditions.

8.

How long does the ovum live until it is no longer viable?
- A.
  
  12 hours
- B.
  
  18 hours
- C.
  
  24 hours
- D.
  
  48 hours
Correct Answer
D. 48 hours

Explanation
The ovum, or egg, has a lifespan of approximately 48 hours before it is no longer viable. This means that after it is released from the ovary during ovulation, it can be fertilized by sperm within this time frame. If fertilization does not occur within 48 hours, the ovum will begin to deteriorate and will not be able to result in a pregnancy.

Rate this question:
9.

Cancer of the ovary is not common, but it causes more deaths than other female reproductive cancers.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Cancer of the ovary is indeed not common, but it is responsible for more deaths than other female reproductive cancers. This means that even though it may occur less frequently, it has a higher mortality rate compared to other types of reproductive cancers in women. Therefore, the statement is true.
