1. Implantation of the fertilized egg normally occurs in the fallopian tube.
Explanation: Implantation of the fertilized egg typically occurs in the uterus, not the fallopian
tube. If it occurs in the fallopian tube, it results in an ectopic pregnancy, which is a medical
emergency.
False
2. Mitosis occurs only in the cells of the reproductive system.
Explanation: Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in somatic (non-reproductive) cells
throughout the body, not just in the reproductive system. It is essential for growth, development,
and tissue repair.
False
3. In a normal adult, the malleus, incas, and stapes are located in the inner ear.
Explanation: The malleus, incus, and stapes are actually located in the middle ear, not the inner
ear. They are the small bones that transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
False
4. A rapid, involuntary, unlearned, unpredictable response to a stimulus is called a reflex.
Explanation: A reflex is indeed a rapid, involuntary, and unlearned response to a stimulus. It is a
predictable response, such as the knee-jerk reaction.
True
Buds are olfactory receptors.
Explanation: Buds are actually taste receptors, not olfactory receptors. Olfactory receptors are
located in the nasal cavity and are responsible for the sense of smell.
False
Question 6: Neurons are the main cells of the nervous system.
Explanation: Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are the primary cells of the nervous system
responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.
Question 7: Glial cells and neuroglia are the same.
Explanation: Glial cells and neuroglia refer to the same type of cells that support and protect
neurons in the nervous system.
True
Question 8: The male urethra functions in both the urinary and reproductive systems. (It is found
in both males and females.)
Explanation: The male urethra indeed functions in both the urinary and reproductive systems,
allowing for the passage of urine and semen. However, the urethra in females is only part of the
urinary system.
True
Question 9: The fertilization of an egg results in the production of a zygote.
