BIO 30 REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS
COMPREHENSIVE TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS VERIFIED PREPARATION
MATERIAL
●● Scrotum
Answer: A pouch of skin that regulates the temperature of the testes in
order to produce sperm better
●● Epididymis
Answer: A duct where the sperm mature and become motile and are
stored
●● Ductus Deferens (Vas Deferens)
Answer: A storage duct from the epididymis leading to the penis Via the
ejaculatory duct. carry sperm to the urethra
●● Haploid
Answer: A sperm is 1/2 the normal number of chromosomes (N)
●● Seminal fluid produced by 3 glands?
Answer: Cowpers gland, Prostate gland, Seminal Vessicle
,●● Cowpers gland
Answer: Secrets mucus like fluid as well as alkaline fluid to neutralize
the acids from the urine in the urethra. Mucus rich fluid protects sperm
and also alkaline.
●● Prostate gland
Answer: A mass of glandular tissue at the base of the urethra that secrets
mucus like fluid that neutralizes acids from the urine in the urethra.
Fluid alkaline buffer against the acid in the vaginal tract.
●● Seminal Vessicle
Answer: Produces a mucus like fluid that contains the sugar fructose
which provides energy for the sperm
●● Gonads
Answer: organ that produces reproductive cells (testes and ovaries)
●● Gametes
Answer: Male haploid reproductive cell -sperm
●● Primary Sex characteristics
Answer: The structures (organs, ducts, and glands) that play a direct role
in reproduction e.g. penis
, ●● Secondary sex characteristics
Answer: Distinct set of features that are not directly related to
reproductive function e.g facial hair
●● Seminiferous tubules
Answer: Long, Coiled tubes inside the testes in which sperm are
produced
●● Interstitial cells
Answer: Secrete the male hormone testosterone , lie between the
seminiferous tubules
●● Sertoli cells
Answer: Supports and nourishes develop sperm, located in the
seminiferous tubules
●● Acrosome
Answer: Part of the sperm. Stores enzymes that are needed to penetrate
the protective layer surrounding the female egg.
●● Head (sperm)
Answer: Contains a nucleus with 23 chromosomes covered by the
acrosome
