What is the difference between the reproductive events in males and females?
Options
- ASperm formation occurs even in old men, but formation of ovum ceases in women around the age of fifty years.
- BFormation of gametes occurs only in males.
- CTransfer of sperms occurs only in females.
- DDelivery of the baby occurs only in males.
Correct answer
A. Sperm formation occurs even in old men, but formation of ovum ceases in women around the age of fifty years.
Step-by-step solution
years. Humans are sexually reproducing and viviparous. The reproductive events in humans include formation of gametes (gametogenesis), i.e., sperms in males and ovum in females, transfer of sperms into the female genital tract (insemination) and fusion of male and female gametes (fertilisation) leading t formation of zygote. This is followed by formation and development of blastocyst and its attachment to the uterine wall (implantation), embryonic development (gestation) and delivery of the baby (parturition). You
