Science Quiz - Reproduction 01 (Questions)

Reproduction is how living things make new individuals. In KS3 Science, students explore both sexual and asexual reproduction in plants, animals, and humans.

Fascinating Fact:

Some plants, like the corpse flower, smell like rotting meat to trick flies into pollinating them.

In KS3 Science, pupils study reproduction to understand how life continues. They learn how plants spread seeds, how animals produce offspring, and the key differences between sexual and asexual reproduction.

Key Terms

Reproduction: The process by which living things make more of their own kind.
Pollination: The transfer of pollen from one flower to another, often by wind or insects.
Asexual Reproduction: Reproduction involving only one parent, producing identical offspring.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is reproduction in KS3 Science?

Reproduction is the process by which living organisms produce new individuals. It can happen sexually, involving two parents, or asexually, with just one parent.

How do plants reproduce?

Plants can reproduce sexually through flowers and seeds or asexually through runners, bulbs, and cuttings that grow into new plants.

What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction?

Sexual reproduction involves two parents and creates variation in offspring. Asexual reproduction needs only one parent and produces clones.

Science Quiz - Reproduction 01 (Answers)

1.

Which of the following is NOT part of the female reproductive system?

[ ]	Ovary
[x]	Testes
[ ]	Uterus
[ ]	Vagina

These are part of the male reproductive system

2.

Which of the following is NOT part of the male reproductive system?

[x]	Oviduct
[ ]	Penis
[ ]	Scrotum
[ ]	Sperm duct

Eggs pass through this organ from the ovary to the uterus

3.

In the female reproductive system, an egg is released monthly from which organ?

[x]	An ovary
[ ]	The oviduct
[ ]	The uterus
[ ]	The vagina

A female human is born with a limited supply of eggs

4.

Fertilisation of an egg occurs in:

[ ]	the ovary
[x]	the oviduct
[ ]	the uterus
[ ]	the vagina

The oviduct is also called the fallopian tube

5.

The life support system for a baby is in:

[ ]	the ovary
[ ]	the oviduct
[x]	the uterus
[ ]	the vagina

It is called the placenta

6.

In the male reproductive system sperm are produced:

[ ]	in the penis
[ ]	in the sperm duct
[x]	in the testes
[ ]	in the urethra

Sperm cells are very tiny compared to an egg cell but they have a sort of tail that enables them to travel from the vagina to the oviduct

7.

In the male reproductive system the urethra carries:

[ ]	just sperm
[ ]	just urine
[x]	sperm or urine
[ ]	neither sperm nor urine

The urethra carries sperm or urine, but not at the same time

8.

When sexual intercourse takes place:

[ ]	sperm are released into the ovary
[ ]	sperm are released into the oviduct
[ ]	sperm are released into the uterus
[x]	sperm are released into the vagina

From there, they 'swim' through the uterus into the oviducts. Most of them die on the way and only one can fertilise an egg cell

9.

Choose the correct order for the changes in the uterus wall which occur every month in a fertile woman.

[ ]	Egg is released, uterus stays thick, lining breaks down, uterus wall thickens
[ ]	Egg is released, uterus wall thickens, stays thick, lining breaks down
[ ]	Uterus lining thickens, stays thick, lining breaks down, egg is released
[x]	Uterus wall thickens, egg is released, uterus lining stays thick, uterus lining breaks down

This is controlled by hormones that circulate in the bloodstream

10.

Choose the correct order leading to a fertilised egg attaching itself to the uterus wall.

[ ]	Cell division, ovulation, fertilisation, implantation
[ ]	Fertilisation, cell division, implantation, ovulation
[ ]	Implantation, cell division, ovulation, fertilisation
[x]	Ovulation, fertilisation, cell division, implantation
