Consider statements about human reproduction: 1. Fertilization occurs in the uterus. 2. The placenta nourishes the fetus. 3. Spermatogenesis occurs in the testes. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Fertilization in humans typically occurs in the fallopian tube (ampullary region), not the uterus; the zygote then travels to the uterus for implantation. The placenta is the vital organ providing oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus and removing waste. Spermatogenesis, the production of sperm, occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
