D) 2)
a) Spermatogenesis – The process of formation of sperms.
Oogenesis – The process in which ova producing cells give rise to the mature ovum.
b) Implantation- The process of fixing of the blastocyst in the wall of the uterus.
Gestation- The full term of development of the embryo in the uterus is called gestation.

e) Identical Twins – One ovum gets fertilized by one sperm, cleavage occurs after zygote
formation and both would be of same sex.
Fraternal Twins - Two ova get fertilized by two separate sperm, two zygote
formation takes place and both would be of either same or different sex.
f) Menopause- Permanent stoppage of menstruation in females at about the age of 45 years.
Menarche- Onset of menstruation in a young female at about the age of 13 years.

6 – Uterus 7 – Urinary Bladder 8 – Cervix 9 – Vagina
10 - Urethra
c) 3 – Site of fertilization
4 – Ovum is picked up and pushed up into oviduct
5 – Grips the released ovum
6 – Implantation and helps in development of the embryo
d) Sperms will not be able to reach the ovum, hence no fertilization.

E) 2)

b) 1-Testis 2- Scrotum 3- Epididymis 4- Sperm duct 5- Seminal vesicle
6- Cowper’s gland 7- Urethra
c) 3- Temporary storage and maturation of sperms
4- The secretion serves as a lubricant
d) Interstitial cells/Leydig cells
e) Sperms are produced in the testis at a temperature 2 to 3 ℃ lower than that of the
body. A slightly higher temperature inside the body does not permit maturation of
sperms. Being in a separate sac (scrotum) suspended from the body, the testes escape
too much body heat. The temperature is regulated through the movements of the
scrotum wall.

E) 5)
a) 1 – Umbilical cord 2 – Placenta 3 – Amnion 4 – Cervix 5 – Uterus / Uterine

a) A- Sperm B- Ovum
b) A- Testis B) Ovary
c) Fallopian tube
d) 1- Ovary- Oestrogen and Progesterone
2- Testes- Testosterone
e) Seminal vesicles- Produce a secretion which serves as a medium for the transportation
of the sperms.
Prostate gland- It pours an alkaline secretion into the semen which neutralizes the acid
in female’s vagina.
Cowper’s gland- The secretion serves as a lubricant.
