Correct Answer
A. Reproductive systemExplanation
The term "reproductive system" refers to the organs and structures involved in the production and transportation of gametes (sperm and eggs) and the development of offspring. In the given context, the words "genita" and "bulblike gland" suggest a connection to the reproductive system. Additionally, the words "born" and "birth" further support this, as they are related to the process of reproduction. However, the word "neck" seems unrelated to the reproductive system, while "uterus" is a specific organ within the reproductive system. Therefore, the correct answer is "reproductive system."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. UterusExplanation
The given answer "uterus" is correct because the words "born" and "birth" suggest a reproductive context. The term "uterus" refers to the organ in female mammals where the fetus develops during pregnancy. This explanation is supported by the other words listed, such as "metr" which is a root meaning uterus, and "milk" which is produced by mammary glands located in the breasts, another reproductive organ. The term "duct, vessel" may also relate to the reproductive system, as it could refer to the fallopian tubes or blood vessels associated with the uterus.Rate this question:

Ovary
Correct Answer
A. OvaryExplanation
The term "ovary" refers to one of the female reproductive organs in mammals, including humans. It is responsible for producing and releasing eggs, also known as ova, which are necessary for reproduction. The other options mentioned in the question, such as "oophoro" (which is not a recognized term) and "tubes" (likely referring to the fallopian tubes), are related to the female reproductive system but do not specifically pertain to the production of eggs. "Sperm" is not relevant to the question as it is associated with male reproductive organs. Therefore, the correct answer is "ovary."Rate this question:

-
Bulblike gland
Correct Answer
A. Tube, fallopianExplanation
The correct answer is "tube, fallopian." This is because the fallopian tubes are a pair of tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus in the female reproductive system. They serve as a pathway for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus, where fertilization can occur. The term "fallopian" is often used to specifically refer to these tubes, making it the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:
