The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). 1. **Statement (i)**: "The expulsion of completely developed fetus from the uterus is known as ovulation." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. The process of expelling a fully developed fetus from the uterus is called parturition, not ovulation. Ovulation refers to the release of a mature ovum from the ovary. - **Conclusion**: **False (F)** 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The sex of the baby will depend on which sperm fertilises the ovum." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. The sex of the baby is determined by the type of sperm that fertilizes the ovum. Sperm can carry either an X or a Y chromosome, while the ovum carries an X chromosome. If a sperm with a Y chromosome fertilizes the ovum, the baby will be male (XY). If a sperm with an X chromosome fertilizes the ovum, the baby will be female (XX). - **Conclusion**: **True (T)** 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Estrogen is released by testes at the onset of puberty." - **Analysis**: This statement is false. Estrogen is primarily a female hormone produced by the ovaries. In males, testosterone is the primary hormone released by the testes at puberty, not estrogen. - **Conclusion**: **False (F)** 4. **Statement (iv)**: "The embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus by placenta." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. The embryo does attach to the uterine wall through the placenta, which facilitates nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and the developing fetus. - **Conclusion**: **True (T)** ### Final Evaluation of Statements: - Statement (i): **False (F)** - Statement (ii): **True (T)** - Statement (iii): **False (F)** - Statement (iv): **True (T)** ### Summary of Results: - (i) F - (ii) T - (iii) F - (iv) T ### Correct Option: The correct option that identifies the true (T) and false (F) statements is **Option 3**: (i) F, (ii) T, (iii) F, (iv) T. ---
