Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The epididymis is the final area for the storage and maturation of sperm. The prostate, scrotum, and penis do not play a role in the development of motility of the sperm.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Prostate cancer is diagnosed and monitored by measuring prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The prostate may be examined by a prostate biopsy to accurately diagnose cancer. A CT scan, small bowel examination, or abdominal x-ray would not definitively diagnose the presence of prostate cancer.
