Answer to Question 1

-ectomy, ectomy

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: A- means without and -spermia means condition of sperm, so aspermia means condition of having no sperm. Spermat/o means sperm and -lytic means destruction; therefore, spermatolytic means destruction of sperm. Olig/o means scanty; thus, oligospermia means scanty amount of sperm. -genic means producing; hence, spermatogenic means producing sperm.
