Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
(A) Myometrium — this matches (III) Exhibits strong contraction during delivery of baby. The myometrium is the thick muscular middle layer of the uterus. Its strong contractions push the baby out.
(B) Ovary — this matches (I) Production of female gametes and steroid hormones. The ovary is the primary female sex organ. It makes the ovum, and it also makes the steroid hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
(C) Acrosome — this matches (IV) Help in fertilization of the ovum. The acrosome is a cap on the head of the sperm. It is filled with enzymes that help the sperm to enter the ovum.
(D) Placenta — this matches (II) Facilitate supply of oxygen to embryo and removal of waste. The placenta joins the embryo to the uterine wall. Oxygen and food pass to the embryo through it, and carbon dioxide and wastes pass back to the mother.
