13. Placenta.
14. Parturition.
15. Colostrum.
16. If testes are not
descent into scrotal sac, proper functioning of testes and spermatogenesis
do not occur.
17. Hymen may be broken by a sudden fall or jolt,
insertion of a vaginal tampon; active participation in some sports items etc. In
some women, hymen persists after coitus. So the hymen is not a reliable
indicator of virginity or sexual experience.

22. Odd one: Androgen. Because it is the
male sex hormone. Others are produced in female reproductive system.
23. (a) A= Acrosome. B= Nucleus.
(b) It contains lytic enzymes that
help the sperm to penetrate ovum during fertilisation.
24. (a) A= Primary oocyte, B= Polar body,
C= Secondary oocyte, D= Ootid.
(b) During gametogenesis, meiotic division results in the
production of haploid gametes. So, during fertilisation, chromosome number can
be maintained to 46.
25. (a) A= Oestrogen, B= Progesterone.
(b) It is the pregnancy hormone that
makes the endometrial lining maximum vascular and glandular and maintains
pregnancy.
26. During gestation period, progesterone inhibits the FSH
secretion to prevent development of another ovarian follicle.
27. Fertilization
happens only if ovum & sperms are transported simultaneously. So all
copulations do not lead to fertilization & pregnancy.
28. (a) A= Inner cell mass, B=
Trophoblast.
(b) A (inner cell mass) becomes embryo. B (Trophoblast) gives
nourishment and protection to developing embryo.
29. (a) Supply O2, nutrients
etc. from mother to foetus.
(b) Remove CO2 from
foetus.
(c) Remove excretory wastes from
foetus.
(d) Acts as an endocrine gland.

(b) Placenta.
31. (a) Colostrum.
(b) It contains many antibodies that gives immunity to the new born baby. It protects the baby from infections.
32. (a) A= Spermatogenesis. B=
Oogenesis.
(b) They are polar
bodies. Formation of polar bodies helps to produce only a single ovum in each
menstrual cycle. Also, ovum gets more cytoplasm.
(c) During
spermatogenesis, each primary spermatocyte can give 4 sperms. But during
oogenesis, one primary oocyte produces only one ovum.
33. (a) A= Sperms. B= Spermatogonia.
(b) C (Sertoli cells) give
nourishment and shape to the developing sperms.
(c) D (Primary spermatocyte)
undergoes reduction division to give secondary spermatocyte (E). reduction
division is necessary to form haploid (n) gamete.

follicle.
(b) LH surge that
results in ovulation.
(c) Corpus luteum. It
secretes progesterone.
36. (a) A= 2-celled (blastomeres) stage.
B= Morula.
(b) Inner cell mass and Trophoblast
cells.
(c) Trophoblast. The process is
called implantation.
37. (a) Pituitary.
(b) Maximum level of LH (LH surge)
results in ovulation.
(c) LH= Acts on Leydig cells to produce
androgens.
FSH= Acts on Sertoli
cells to produce factors needed for spermiogenesis.
