The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect combination of reproductive terms, we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: - **Sperm**: Male reproductive cell. - **Testis**: Male reproductive organ that produces sperm and testosterone. - **Sperm Duct (Ductus Deferens)**: Tube that carries sperm from the testis to the outside of the body. - **Penis**: Male genital organ. 2. **Analyze the First Option**: - The first set includes: - Sperm (male reproductive cell) - Testis (male reproductive organ) - Sperm Duct (transports sperm) - Penis (male genital organ) - All terms in this set are correctly associated with male reproduction. 3. **Analyze the Second Option**: - The second set includes: - Menstruation (the monthly cycle involving shedding of the uterine lining) - Egg (female reproductive cell) - Oviduct (fallopian tube, where fertilization occurs) - Uterus (where the embryo develops) - Here, menstruation is related to the female reproductive cycle but does not directly relate to the other terms in the context of reproduction. 4. **Analyze the Third Option**: - The third set includes: - Sperm (male reproductive cell) - Oviduct (female reproductive structure) - Embryo (developing organism after fertilization) - Uterus (where the embryo develops) - This set mixes male and female reproductive terms but does not present an incorrect combination as it describes the process of fertilization and development. 5. **Conclusion**: - The second option is the incorrect combination because it includes menstruation, which does not fit with the other reproductive terms that are directly related to fertilization and embryo development. ### Final Answer: The set that has an incorrect combination is the second option: **Menstruation, Egg, Oviduct, Uterus.** ---
