Grade 12 Learner
It is important for YOU to be successful in the NSC examination at the end of 2022, and to
achieve this, it will take extra effort and work from YOU. We have taken time to prepare this kit to
enable YOU to achieve this goal in Life Sciences.
This document has been prepared as study material for the Final Examinations for Grade
12 Life Sciences.
The materials have been arranged in such a way that studying can be undertaken topic-wise.
Within each topic, core notes have been included according to the 2021 Examination Guideline
Document.
Questions were selected such that the core concepts and core skills are assessed and practiced.
The action words have been underlined in the questions, so that you can follow the
instructions of the question.

HUMAN REPRODUCTION – PAPER 1, 41 marks
It is important that you can label and provide functions of the different parts of the male and
female reproductive systems.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM:
The figure below shows the different parts of the male reproductive system and their functions.
A possible question in the NSC exams:
Describe the process of SPERMATOGENESIS – (the formation of male gametes, sperm cells)
• Under the influence of testosterone
• diploid cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes undergo meiosis
• to form haploid sperm cells

, Life Sciences Gr 12 Cape Winelands Survival Kit – PAPER 1 2022
It is very important that you can draw the structure of a sperm cell/ provide labels and
functions of the parts
Female reproductive system:
Know the parts and functions of the following parts:
Be able to describe oogenesis as follows:
Oogenesis: the formation of female gametes - ovum
• Diploid cells in the ovary undergo mitosis
• To form numerous follicles
• At the onset of puberty
• Under the influence of FSH
• One cell inside a follicle enlarges and undergoes meiosis
• Of the four cells produced, only ONE survives to form a mature, haploid ovum
• This occurs in a monthly cycle
