Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which one of the following produces sperm ?

Answer: seminiferous tubules

These are found in the testis and each testis contains about 250m of tubule!

2. When a sperm cell and an ovum fuse, what is the name of the new structure?

Answer: zygote

The zygote soon divides to form a ball of cells called a morula and after this becomes known as the embryo.

3. Which structure does the egg that is released during ovulation normally enter first?

Answer: oviduct

It is drawn into the oviduct by currents in the abdominal fluid. These currents are produced by the sweeping movements of the fimbriae (hairlike structures at the opening of the oviduct).

4. Sperm cells are suspended in a fluid medium. What is the main advantage gained from this adaptation?

Answer: acts as a transport medium for sperm

5. Which expression of traits do the hormones produced by the testes control?

Answer: voice quality and beard development

6. In which structure does internal fertilization usually occur?

Answer: oviduct

7. In which structure is a developing embryo usually implanted?

Answer: uterus

The uterus is also called the womb. Implantation occurs when the 10-day old embryo attaches to the endometrium of the uterus.

8. Which of the following fertilizations could produce a pair of identical twins?

Answer: one egg by one sperm

The zygote splits soon after fertilization to produce two identical structures. These develop into separate embryos and identical twins!

9. What is the major advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

Answer: a greater variety of offspring

10. When does a temporary suspension of the menstrual cycle normally occur?

Answer: pregnancy
