Reproduction Exam

One function of the male reproductive system in

mammals is to

• produce insulin necessary for sexual

  reproduction

• transport eggs necessary for fertilization

• allow for delivery of gametes needed for

  reproduction

• provide protection for the developing zygote

The diagram below illustrates asexual reproduction

in yeast.Yeast produce offspring that usually have

• genes that are different from those of the

  parent

• genes that are identical to those of the parent

• half of the genetic information of the parent

• organelles that are not found in the parent

The diagram below represents division of a cell that produces two daughter cells. Which statement most likely describes the daughter cells produced?

• The daughter cells will pass on only half of the genetic information they received from the

  original cell.

• The daughter cells will each produce offspring that will have the same genetic information as

  the original cell.

• The daughter cells will each undergo the same mutations as the original cell after reproduction has occurred.

• The daughter cells will not pass on any of the genes that they received from the original cell.

Which structure is correctly paired with its function?

• ovary – provides milk for newborns

• testis – development of sperm

• placenta – storage of released eggs

• uterus – produces estrogen

Which structure is correctly paired with its function?

• oviduct- site of fertilization

• uterus- production of eggs

• vagina- site of fetal development

• vas deferens- production of sperm

Which phrases best identify characteristics of

asexual reproduction?

• two parents, no union of gametes, offspring

  genetically identical to parents

• two parents, union of gametes, offspring

  similar to but not genetically identical to

  parents

• one parent, no union of gametes, offspring

  genetically identical to parents

• one parent, union of gametes, offspring similar

  to but not genetically identical to the parent

The reproductive cycle in females is regulated

primarily by

• estrogen and testosterone

• estrogen and progesterone

• progesterone and insulin

• progesterone and testosterone

A diagram of human female reproductive

structures is shown below. Which structure is correctly paired with its

function?

• A – releases estrogen and progesterone

• B – produces eggs and estrogen

• C – provides the usual site for fertilization

• D – nourishes a developing embryo

A reproductive system is represented in the

diagram below. If an injury occurred to the structure labeled A, the most likely result would be a problem with

• excretion of urine

• production of hormones

• delivery of sperm

• production of gametes

Oxygen and nutrients needed for development are

transported to a human fetus through the

• reproductive hormones

• ovaries

• placenta

• intestines
