While in health class, Marissa writes that the main function of the male reproductive system is to produce and transport ova for reproduction. Which explains Marissa’s mistake?
Answer
A
The main function of the male reproductive system is to develop secondary sex characteristics.
B
The male reproductive system only produces ova and does not transport them.
C
The male reproductive system produces and transports sperm, not ova.
D
The main function of the male reproductive system is to develop hormones.
Explanation
Ova are egg cells produced by the female reproductive system. The male reproductive system produces sperm and transports them for reproduction, so Marissa mixed up the reproductive cells. Choice C correctly says it produces and transports sperm, not ova.
