Which statements describe both male and female reproductive systems? Select three options. - The reproductive system produces hormones. - The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. - The reproductive system produces reproductive cells. - The reproductive system includes the urinary bladder. - The reproductive system develops and nourishes a developing baby.
- The reproductive system produces hormones. - The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. - The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.
Why are the male and female reproductive systems important?
- The reproductive systems produce cells that allow for reproduction in human beings. - Reproduction ensures the survival of the human species.
Which best compares the male and female reproductive system? Select three options. - The sperm duct and fallopian tube perform a similar function. - The vagina and the penis are the last passageways out of the reproductive system. - The glands of the male reproductive system have the same function as the uterus. - The testes and ovaries perform a similar function. - Testosterone is the dominant hormone in males and females.
- The sperm duct and fallopian tube perform a similar function. - The vagina and the penis are the last passageways out of the reproductive system. - The testes and ovaries perform a similar function.
Which of these are functions of the female reproductive system but not the male reproductive system? Select three options. nourishes a developing baby produces reproductive cells protects the developing offspring serves as place where fertilization takes place transports reproductive cells
- nourishes a developing baby - protects the developing offspring - serves as place where fertilization takes place
Mike has a problem with his testosterone. He is unable to produce enough. Which will most likely be affected by his inability to produce testosterone?

Which statement describes a function of the female reproductive system? - The vagina connects the ovaries to the uterus. - The ovaries produce eggs. - The uterus transports eggs to the ovaries. - The fallopian tube leads to the outside of the female body.
The ovaries produce eggs.
A fertilized egg, or a ___, is formed from the fusion of egg and sperm.

In which structure would the egg need to be fertilized? ovary fallopian tube uterus vagina
fallopian tube
Which connects the ovary and uterus? sperm duct fallopian tube urethra vagina
fallopian tube
Which structure on the sperm propels it toward the egg? scrotum flagellum semen glands
flagellum
