Biology - Human Reproduction Question with Solution | TestHub
Given below are two statements.
Statement I - The external genitalia of female contains two thin folds called labia majora which forms hood-like covering around clitoris.
Statement II - The vestibular glands are homologous to the Cowper's gland of the male reproductive system.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct option given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Statement I is incorrect because the labia majora are fleshy folds of tissue that extend down from the mons pubis and surround the vaginal opening. The labia minora are paired thin folds of tissue under the labia majora, and it is the labia minora that form the hood-like covering (prepuce) around the clitoris.
Statement II is correct because the greater vestibular glands (Bartholin's glands) in females are homologous to the bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands) in the male reproductive system. Both secrete mucus for lubrication.
Therefore, Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Answer: Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
