question 54

a produce ova
b location for fertilization
c nourish newborn
d store the sperm for maturation

Explanation:

• The female reproductive system produces ova (eggs) in the ovaries (so A is a function).
• Fertilization of the ovum by sperm usually occurs in the fallopian tubes (so B is a function).
• After childbirth, the female body (through mammary glands which are part of the female reproductive - related system in terms of post - birth care) nourishes the newborn (so C is a function).
• Sperm maturation mainly occurs in the male epididymis. The female reproductive system is not the site for sperm maturation (even though it can store sperm for a short time in the cervix and upper vagina, but not for maturation).

D. store the sperm for maturation
