4
Q

Where are sperm cells produced?

A

Testis / Testicles

5
Q

Describe and explain 3 adaptations of a sperm cell.

A
  • Tail for swimming

  • Large - easier for cilia to move egg along the oviduct.
  • Large - bigger target for sperm cell
  • Large - contains a food store
7
Q

What process is shown in this picture?

A

Fertilisation

8
Q

What is implantation?

A

The embryo implants / sticks to the wall of the uterus.

9
Q

What is the name and role of part A?

A

Testes / Testicles - produce sperm

10
Q

What is the name and the role of part B?

A

Sperm Duct - Carry the sperm from the testes to the penis.

11
Q

What is the name and role of part D?
