After sperm mature, they move into the urethra by way of the 1.Penis 2.Vas deferens 3.Seminal vesicles 4.Testes
Menstruation in humans usually occurs 1.About 28 days after ovulation 2.About 14 days after ovulation 3.Following fertilization of egg.
The testes 1.Produce Sperm 2.Secrete testosterone 3.Located in the scrotum 4.All of the above

This is where implantation occurs
This structure secretes an alkaline fluid to neutralize the acidity in the female reproductive tract
What is an advantage of asexual reproduction? 1.Results in variation. 2.Uses a lot of energy to find a mate. 3.More offspring are produced over a short period of time. 4.Requires male and female gametes.

At what stage has the egg been released into the fallopian tube? 1.Menstruation 2.Follicular Stage 3.Corpus Luteum Stage 4.At any point in the cycle
Menstruation occurs because 1.The follicle develops 2.Ovulation occurs 3.Corpus Luteum Appears 4.Corpus Luteum Degenerates
Identical twins result from 1.One fertilized egg. 2.Two fertilized eggs. 3.One Egg fertilized by 2 sperm. 4.Two Eggs fertilized by 1 sperm.
When does ovulation occur? 1.Surge in FSH levels. 2.Surge in LH levels 3.Surge in Estrogen levels. 4.Surge in Progesterone level.
FSH has a direct effect on what ovarian event? 1.Formation of the corpus luteum 2.Disintegration of the uterine lining 3.Development of the follicle 4.Secretion of progesterone
The formation of the corpus luteum coincides with what other event? 1.The growth of the follicle 2.A rise in the level of progesterone in bloodstream. 3.The disintegration of uterine lining. 4.Menstruation
Disintegration of the endometrium is caused by a decrease in this hormone. 1.FSH 2.LH 3.Progesterone 4.Testosterone
