Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - A-iv, B-ii, C-iii D-i
| column 1 | column 2 |
| A. Acrosome | (iv)Spermatozoan |
| B. Endometrium | (ii)Uterus |
| C. Polar body | (iii)Oogenesis |
| D. Clitoris | (i) Erectile organ |
A. Acrosome - (iv).Spermatozoan
The acrosome is a cap-like structure present at the anterior part of the sperm cell (spermatozoan). It contains digestive enzymes that help in breaking down the outer membrane of the ovum (zona pellucida) to facilitate fertilization.
B.Endometrium - ii. Uterus
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. It thickens during the menstrual cycle to prepare for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium sheds during menstruation.
C.Polar body - iii. Oogenesis
A polar body is a small cell that is produced during oogenesis, the process of egg (ovum) formation. Polar bodies are by-products of the meiotic divisions that occur during the development of the female gamete and typically do not develop into ova.
D.Clitoris - i. Erectile organ
The clitoris is a small, highly sensitive erectile organ of the female external genitalia. It contains erectile tissue that becomes engorged with blood during sexual arousal.
