Answer to Problem 1CA

Correct answer: d. all of the above.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

The general functions of the male and female reproductive systems are the synthesis of sex cells and hormones, nurturing of the sex cells or gametes, and transportation of the sex cells to the site of fertilization.

Option d. is given as “all of the above”.

Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Reasons for the incorrect answers:

Option a. is given as “producing sex cells”.

The production of sex cells is not alone the general function of the male and female reproductive systems. It also includes sex cell transportation to the site of fertilization and hormone secretion. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “transporting sex cells to sites of fertilization”.

The transportation of sex cells to the sites of fertilization is not alone the function of the female and male reproductive systems. It also includes sex cell production and hormone secretion. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “secreting hormones”.

Hormone secretion is not alone the general function of the male and female reproductive systems. It also includes the production of sex cells and the transportation of sex cells to the sites of fertilization. Therefore, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Thus, the general functions of the male and female reproductive system include all of the provided options.
