Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The reproductive system in females consists of organs such as ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tube. Males have testes, penis, and seminal vesicles. Ovaries in females produce ova, whereas testes in males produce sperms. Ova fuses with the sperm to form a zygote. Both the gametes are different in size and shape.

How do you expect Kartagener syndrome leads to infertility?
A. The lack of a plasma membrane means that pathogens and foreign substances can permeate the sperm and damage the DNA
B. The lack of microtubules mean the sperm do not have tails and cannot swim to fertilize the egg
C. The lack of dynein means that the sperm cannot bend their tails to swim and fertilize the egg
How does the production of sperm differ from the production of eggs? a. Sperm production involves meiosis, whereas egg production involves only mitosis. b. Meiosis during sperm production produces four sperm cells, whereas meiosis during egg production produces only one functional egg cell. c. Sperm are haploid, whereas eggs are diploid. d. Sperm production begins during fetal development, whereas the meiotic process that begins egg production doesn’t begin until puberty
Which of the following is a function of the reproductive system?
(A) to produce all of the body's hormones
(B) to regulate body temperature
(C) to make hormones that fight disease
