SHERWOOD HIGH - BIOLOGY WORKSHEET
Topic: Reproductive System - Answer Key
a. Name the following:
i. Fallopian tube (Oviduct)
ii. Amniotic fluid
iii. Scrotum
iv. Gestation
v. Inguinal canal
vi. Cervix
vii. Epididymis
b. Choose the correct answer:
i. 28 days
ii. Testosterone
iii. 14th day
iv. Placenta
c. Mention the exact location:
Epididymis – posterior surface of each testis
Testis – in scrotal sac outside abdomen
Prostate gland – below urinary bladder around urethra
d. Functions:
Corpus luteum – secretes progesterone
Sperm duct – carries sperm to urethra
Seminal vesicles – secrete fructose-rich fluid for sperm
e. Definitions:
Gestation – period between fertilization and birth
Implantation – attachment of blastocyst to uterine wall
Parturition – process of childbirth
f. Differences:
Menarche – onset of menstruation
Menopause – cessation of menstruation
Sperm duct – transports sperm
Fallopian tube – transports ovum
Tubectomy – Fallopian tubes cut
Vasectomy – Vas deferens cut
g. Correct sequence:
i. Ovulation → Fertilization → Implantation → Gestation → Parturition
ii. Testis → Sperm → Sperm duct → Semen → Penis
iii. Ovary → Oviduct → Uterus → Cervix → Vagina
iv. Zygote → Morula → Blastocyst → Embryo → Foetus
h. Explanations:
Placenta – allows exchange of materials between mother and foetus
Menstrual cycle stops after fertilization – due to progesterone from corpus luteum
i. Diagram-based (Fertilization):
a. Order: C → A → B
b. Location: Fallopian tube
c. Product: Zygote
d. Chromosomes: Egg – 23, Zygote – 46
ii. Male reproductive system:
Parts 1–4: Testis, Epididymis, Vas deferens, Penis
Function of Testis – produces sperm & testosterone
Scrotal sac – temperature regulation
Inguinal canal – passage for testes descent
h. Female reproductive system:
Parts 5 & 6 – Ovary, Oviduct
Hormones – Oestrogen, Progesterone
Fertilization – Fallopian tube
Implantation – Uterus
