Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'All of the above.' The female reproductive system produces female sex cells (eggs), transports them through the fallopian tubes, and can support the development of an embryo through the uterus. Choice A is correct because the ovaries produce eggs, choice B is correct as the fallopian tubes transport the eggs, and choice C is correct as the uterus provides the environment for the embryo to develop. Therefore, all of these statements are true regarding the female reproductive system.

Correct Answer: C.

Rationale: The correct answer is 'responsiveness.' Responsiveness refers to the ability of an organism to detect and respond to stimuli in its environment. In this context, it specifically relates to an organism's ability to sense and react to changes within its body. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Circulation refers to the movement of fluids within an organism, respiration is the process of exchanging gases, and absorption is the uptake of substances by cells or tissues.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Cell death, also known as apoptosis, first occurs during fetal development when specific cells are programmed to die. This process is essential for shaping and organizing tissues and organs. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because cell death begins much earlier, during fetal development, rather than later in life or at puberty. Understanding the timing of cell death in different stages of life is crucial in developmental biology.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In negative feedback mechanisms, changes away from the normal state stimulate changes in the opposite direction. This is a fundamental concept in biological systems where the response to a stimulus opposes the initial change, helping to maintain homeostasis. Choice A is incorrect because negative feedback does not stimulate changes in the same direction. Choice B is incorrect because negative feedback does not inhibit all body reactions, but rather specific responses. Choice D is incorrect because negative feedback does not stimulate a reduction in all body requirements, but rather adjusts specific functions to restore balance.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Blood cells are produced in the organs of the hematopoietic system. The correct answer is 'superior to' as this refers to the location of the organs responsible for blood cell production, typically bone marrow found in bones such as the vertebrae, ribs, and skull. 'Endocrine' (Choice A) refers to a different system responsible for hormone production. 'Skeletal' (Choice B) relates to bones but not specifically to the production of blood cells. Choices C and D, 'superior to' and 'inferior to,' do not make sense in the context of blood cell production and are incorrect.
