Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Maturing sperm are stored in both epididymi, which also convey the sperm to the vas deferens and secrete seminal fluid. Spermatogenesis occurs in the testicles. The prostate has several functions, one of which is to secrete an alkaline fluid that protects sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina and the male urethra.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The woman's basal body temperature increases 24 to 48 hours after ovulation, and it is still possible to become pregnant at this point. Thin, watery cervical mucus creates a pathway for sperm to readily swim through the cervix. Sticky cervical mucus does not aid in fertilization.
