Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Seminal vesicles. Seminal vesicles are responsible for producing a significant portion of the fluid that makes up semen, providing nutrients and protection for the sperm. While the testes produce sperm, the scrotum is the external sac that holds the testes, and the prostate gland also contributes to semen production but is not solely responsible for it.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue found in the respiratory tract, including the lining of the trachea and bronchi. It is also found in the male reproductive system and parts of the auditory tube and external ear canal. Among the options provided, the external ears (option C) are the most relevant location for pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Skeletal muscle (option A) is primarily composed of muscle fibers, not epithelial tissue. The bony skeleton (option B) is composed of bone tissue. The bloodstream (option D) consists of blood cells and plasma, not epithelial tissue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In the context of classification, 'monophyletic' refers to a group that includes a common ancestor and all of its descendants. This group shares a single evolutionary origin and forms a complete branch on a phylogenetic tree. Monophyletic groups are considered natural and valid taxonomic units because they reflect evolutionary relationships accurately. Option D is the correct choice as it accurately defines the term 'monophyletic' in the context of classification. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choice A is incorrect because 'monophyletic' does not refer to a group with a single representative organism but rather a group descended from a common ancestor. Choice B is incorrect as a monophyletic group consists of related, not diverse and unrelated, members. Choice C is incorrect as a monophyletic group includes descendants from a common ancestor, not just organisms with similar functions but different origins.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A synergist is a muscle that assists the agonist, the primary muscle responsible for a specific movement, in performing that movement. Synergists stabilize joints and provide additional support to the prime mover muscle, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the movement. Choice A, Agonist, refers to the muscle primarily responsible for a specific movement. Choice B, Antagonist, refers to a muscle that opposes the action of the agonist. Choice D, Fixator, refers to a muscle that stabilizes the origin of the prime mover muscle, maintaining the desired position during movement.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The unit of measurement for force in the International System of Units (SI) is the Newton (N). One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. Therefore, the correct answer is Newton (N). The other choices are incorrect because: B) Kilogram (kg) is a unit of mass, not force; C) Joule (J) is a unit of energy; D) Meter per second squared (m/s²) is a unit of acceleration, not force.
