Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When parents, teachers, and counselors do not provide sex education, adolescents will seek answers elsewhere. Unwholesome attitudes or incorrect beliefs may develop from information they receive from peers and older adolescents who appear to know it all. The result may be premature and unsafe sexual activities. Hence, it is important to provide sex education to teenagers.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Sperm cells are highly specialized and are made up of several divisions. The whip-like tail is a flagellum that propels the sperm with a lashing motion. The head contains 23 chromosomes (half of the human genetic material). The tip of the head, the acrosome, contains enzymes that can dissolve the tough cell wall of the ovum (the female sex cell). The body (middle piece) contains mitochondria, which provide the energy necessary for locomotion.
