Where are the palatine and Iingual tonsils located?

A. Gametes are only found in males: This statement is incorrect; gametes (sperm and eggs) are found in both males and females.

B. Gametes have double the chromosomes: This is incorrect; gametes are haploid (having half the number of chromosomes), while somatic cells are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes).

C. Gametes do not go through cell division: Gametes are produced through meiosis, which is a type of cell division.

D. Gametes go through meiosis: Gametes are produced through meiosis, a specialized form of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, allowing for sexual reproduction.

A. To ensure that the uterus is securely connected to the supporting ligaments: This is not the primary function of the middle layer (myometrium); rather, the supporting ligaments provide stability to the uterus.

B. To allow the uterus to shed tissue during menstruation: This is primarily the function of the endometrium, the inner layer of the uterine wall.

C. To allow the uterus to contract during childbirth to expel the fetus: The middle layer, known as the myometrium, is composed of smooth muscle that contracts during labor to help expel the fetus.

D. To provide the uterus with adequate space to grow a fetus: While the uterine structure allows for fetal growth, the myometrium’s primary role is in contractions rather than providing space.
