Human Reproduction

What is a zygote?

• A type of cell that helps in digestion.

• A fertilized egg that contains chromosomes from both parents.

• A stage in the development of a fetus.

• A cell that only contains genetic material from the mother.

What are ovaries?

• The male reproductive organs that produce sperm and hormones.

• The female reproductive organs that produce eggs (ova) and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.

• The organs responsible for digestion in females.

• The glands that regulate metabolism in the body.

What is the uterus?

• A gland that produces hormones

• The hollow muscular organ in which a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus.

• A type of blood vessel

• The outer layer of the skin

What is the role of hormones in reproduction?

• Hormones regulate various processes in reproduction, including the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy.

• Hormones are responsible for the physical structure of reproductive organs.

• Hormones only affect male reproductive functions.

• Hormones have no significant role in reproduction.

What is the function of the fallopian tubes?

• Connect the ovaries with the uterus, allowing the passage of eggs and sperm.

• Produce hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle.

• Serve as a storage site for eggs before ovulation.

• Facilitate the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus.

What is the role of the vulva?

• The external part of the female genitalia, which protects the internal reproductive organs.

• A structure that produces hormones in the female body.

• The internal part of the female reproductive system responsible for fertilization.

• A type of infection that affects the female reproductive organs.

What is meiosis?

• A type of cell division that creates 4 unique cells from a parent cell, essential for sexual reproduction.

• A process of DNA replication that occurs before cell division.

• A method of asexual reproduction in single-celled organisms.

• A type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

• Mitosis creates 2 identical daughter cells, while meiosis creates 4 unique cells.

• Mitosis creates 4 identical daughter cells, while meiosis creates 2 unique cells.

• Mitosis and meiosis both create 2 identical daughter cells.

• Mitosis creates 2 unique cells, while meiosis creates 4 identical daughter cells.

What is the function of the vagina?

• To serve as the birth canal and the passage for menstrual fluid, connecting the external genitals to the uterus.

• To produce hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle.

• To provide lubrication during sexual intercourse.

• To act as a barrier against infections.

What is fertilization?

• The process where a sperm cell joins with an egg cell to form a zygote.

• The process of a plant growing from a seed.

• The method by which animals reproduce asexually.

• The stage of development after a zygote has formed.
