Question
Describe the human female reproductive system.
✓
Answer
- All the organs of the human female reproductive system are located inside the lower abdomen.
- There are pair of ovaries, pair of fallopian ducts and a single median uterus.
- The uterus opens out by vagina. In vaginal walls there are Bartholin’s glands.
- The urethra in female body is separate and not a common passage as in male body.
- The free end of fallopian duct is funnel-like having an opening in the centre. The oocyte released from the ovary due to ovulation is picked up by this funnel.
- The other end of fallopian duct opens into uterus. There are cilia on inner surface of oviduct. With the help of the cilia the oocyte is pushed to the uterus through the fallopian duct.
- The fertilization of oocyte can take place only in the middle’part of the fallopian duct.
- The lower end of uterus opens into vagina. The contractions of uterus help in the process of parturition.
- Vagina is the birth canal as well as copulatory passage. It is also a passage for menstrual flow.

A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only $A-B$ type of seeds were produced in the $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ generation pea plants having $A-B$ type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties $A-D$ and $C-B$ type of seeds were also obtained.
