    Correct Answer: Option n
    Explanation:
    (a) Parts of the reproductive system of:
    (i) bull
    - seminal vesicle
    - testis
    - spermatic cord
    - scrotum
    - urethra
    - penis
    - epididymis
    - vas deferens
    - cowper's gland
    - prostate gland
    (ii) Hen
    - Ovary/oval/ovum
    - shell gland/uterus
    - Funnel/ infundibulum/Fallopian tube Vagina Sphincter
    - magnum/ampulla
    - Vagina
    -isthmus
    - Sphincter
    - Cloaca
    (b) Functions of parts named
    Bull
    Testis: sperm production, secretion of hormones
    Scrotum: covers the testis and regulates the temperature of the testis
    Urethra: passage for semen /sperm
    Penis: copulatory organ, discharge and deposition of semen into reproductive organ of female.
    Epididymis: transportation, concentration and storage of semen
    Vas deferens: passage for sperm/semen into urethra
    Seminal ‘Vesicle: produces a sugar rich fluid (fructose) for energy
    Spermatic cord: supplies blood, nutrient and oxygen
    Cowper's gland: secretes fluid that lubricates the urethra and neutralises acidity caused by the residual drops of urine.
    Prostate gland: increases the volume of the ejaculate; helps to nourish the sperm: promotes movement of spermatozoon
    Hen
    Ovary: Production of ova, secretion of hormones
    Funnel: Passage of ova into magnum; fertilisation of ova
    Magnum: Secretion of albumen, formation of chalaza
    Shell gland/uterus: Formation and deposition of shell, adds water to swell up the egg. Deposits minerals
    Vagina: Copulatory organ, temporary storage of egg
    Sphincter: Contracts to hold egg in vagina or relaxes to release egg into cloaca
    Cloaca: Opening for laying egg
    Isthmus: Secretes shell membrane, determines shape or the egg.
    (C) Process of digestion of cassava tuber in the mouth of a pig
    - Tuber is chewed: ground with teeth/ masticated to reduce size.
    - Saliva is secreted by salivary gland.
    - Food is mixed with saliva to make it soft/moist/ lubricated.
    - Amylase from saliva acts to break down starch to maltose.
    - Food is rolled in IT the tongue and pushed back and swallowed.
