Read the following passage and answer questions 12 & 13.

The male reproductive system works to produce sperm and deliver it to the female reproductive system. Sperm are sex cells that are produced by the male reproductive organs called the testes and that are needed to fertilize an egg. Eggs, or ova, are the sex cells produced by the female reproductive organs called the ovaries. The process by which a sperm and an egg and their genetic material join to create a new human life is called fertilization. When a human sperm and egg combine, a new human being begins to grow. In many cases, about 9 months later, a mother gives birth to her baby. The process of producing a new human being is called reproduction.

Read the following passage and answer questions 17 through 18.

Anger, loneliness, and even depression can be common during adolescence. Many of these feelings come from the teen's desire to become more independent. Frustration and confusion about how to become independent can sometimes seem overwhelming. These feelings arise mostly because up to this point teens have been dependent on other people. The process of leaving dependence behind and forming a new identity is complex and sometimes scary. Teens may desire independence but feel dependent. These conflicting emotions exist together because the processes of leaving some emotions behind and getting new ones occur at the same time. Having conflicting emotions is healthy and normal. If prolonged periods of sadness or anxiety become too overwhelming, seeking help from a parent, school counselor, or doctor is important.
