  • A. Penis
  • B. Urethra
  • C. Sperm duct
  • D. Scrotum

Explanation: The structure that surrounds the testicles is the scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch of skin and muscle that houses and protects the testes.

Correct answer: Scrotum
  • A. Parthenocarpy
  • B. Apomixis
  • C. Parthenogenesis
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Parthenocarpy leads to the development of fruits without seeds, that means they can not further reproduce.

Correct answer: Parthenogenesis
  • A. Internal fertilization with external development in eggs
  • B. Internal fertilization and internal development followed by hatching of egg
  • C. External fertilization with external development
  • D. Internal fertilization with internal development inside female body

Explanation: Viviparous animals are those that have sexual intercourse due to which the sperm and egg cell fuse and form an embryo in the female body.

Correct answer: Internal fertilization with internal development inside female body
  • A. Parthenocarpy
  • B. Parthenogenesis
  • C. Vernalization
  • D. All of these options are correct

Explanation: In flowering plants, one form of parthenogenesis is called apomixis. Apomixis is a mechanism by which plants can reproduce clonally…

Correct answer: Parthenogenesis
  • A. Egg
  • B. Sperm
  • C. Somatic cell
  • D. Gamete

Explanation: In humans, each cell nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, a total of 46 chromosomes. The first 22 pairs are called autosomes.

Correct answer: Egg
  • A. Ejaculatory duct
  • B. Seminal vesicle
  • C. Seminiferous tubules
  • D. Epididymis

Explanation: The epididymis is a coiled tube located on the testes where spermatozoa are stored and undergo maturation.

Correct answer: Epididymis
  • A. One of both testes are not developed
  • B. One or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum
  • C. One or both testes are not formed
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Cryptorchidism is a condition that affects males and presents itself in the early stages of life however is resolves on its own during the…

Correct answer: One or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum
  • A. Seed dormancy
  • B. Fruit ripening
  • C. Germination
  • D. All of these

Explanation: . Option C is correct since germination is defined as the sprouting of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body, usually after a period…

Correct answer: Germination
  • A. 20 days
  • B. 28 days
  • C. 10 days
  • D. 40 days

Explanation: Option B is correct since the average length of the menstrual cycle in an adult female is 28 days.Option A is incorrect since the 20-day…

Correct answer: 28 days
  • A. Andropause
  • B. Gametopause
  • C. Menopause
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle.

Correct answer: Menopause
  • A. Sporulation
  • B. Apomixis
  • C. Fission
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Apomixes, Sporulation and Fission are methods that are of asexually reproducing.

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Epididymis
  • B. Scrotal sacs
  • C. Seminal vesicle
  • D. Prostate gland

Explanation: Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules.

Correct answer: Epididymis
  • A. Anaphase I
  • B. Prophase I
  • C. Metaphase I
  • D. Metaphase II

Explanation: After ovulation, the oocyte is arrested in metaphase of meiosis II until fertilization.

Correct answer: Metaphase II
  • A. Somatic cell
  • B. Egg cell
  • C. Sperm cell
  • D. Zygote

Explanation: Option B is correct since in animals and especially among vertebrates, a nucleus from somatic cells is removed and introduced into an egg…

Correct answer: Egg cell
  • A. Ovaries
  • B. Vagina
  • C. Fallopian tubes
  • D. Uterus

Explanation: Option A is correct since thousands of eggs are found in the ovaries of the female reproductive system.The ovaries are a pair of small…

Correct answer: Ovaries
  • A. Gametes
  • B. Gonads
  • C. Glands
  • D. Follicles

Explanation: The primary reproductive organs are gonads, which produce reproductive cells (gametes).
