Part A - For each statement below, indicate on the line if the response is true or false by writing "T", or "F".

1. The scrotum provides a temperature slightly lower than that of the body, as required for viable sperm production.

2. Meiosis, the basis of gametic production, consists of two consecutive nuclear divisions without DNA replication in between.

3. The female reproductive system produces gametes and sex hormones and houses a developing infant until birth.

8. There are some sexually transmitted diseases (STD) that have the capability to be bacterial in nature and can infect other organs.

9. The number of chromosomes present in human gametes is 22.

10. Male infertility may be caused by a low sperm count, certain medications/drugs, anatomical obstructions, and hormonal imbalances.

11. Ovaries are external primary reproductive organs of the female.

12. Uterine tubes, also called fallopian tubes and oviducts, form the initial part of the internal female duct system.

13. Puberty is the interval when reproductive organs mature and become functional.

14. The follicular phase of the ovarian cycle is the period of follicle growth, typically indicates as lasting from the first to the fourteenth day of the menstrual cycle.

15. During menopause, ovarian function declines, but ovulation and menstruation continue.

Part B - For the scenario below, write a brief 2-3 statement answering the questions that follow.
