Match List-I with List-II.
| List-I | List-II |
| (A) Ovary | (I) Womb |
| (B) Uterus | (II) Formation of sperms |
| (C) Spermatogenesis | (III) Primary female sex organ |
| (D) Oogenesis | (IV) Formation of a mature female gamete |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Each organ or process in List-I has its own role in human reproduction, and the four pairs can be made out one by one.
(A) Ovary — this matches (III) Primary female sex organ. The ovaries produce the female gamete (ovum) and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones).
(B) Uterus — this matches (I) Womb. The uterus is a single, inverted pear-shaped organ, and womb is its other name.
(C) Spermatogenesis — this matches (II) Formation of sperms. In the testis, the spermatogonia produce sperms by spermatogenesis, which begins at puberty.
(D) Oogenesis — this matches (IV) Formation of a mature female gamete. It begins in the fetal ovary and differs markedly from spermatogenesis.
NCERT Extract:
The Female Reproductive System – “… Ovaries are the primary female sex organs that produce the female gamete (ovum) and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones).”
The Female Reproductive System – “… The uterus is single and it is also called womb.”
Gametogenesis – “… In testis, the immature male germ cells (spermatogonia) produce sperms by spermatogenesis that begins at puberty.”
Gametogenesis – “… The process of formation of a mature female gamete is called oogenesis which is markedly different from spermatogenesis.”
