Reason (R): Vas deferens carries sperms from the epididymis to the urethra of the male reproductive system.

1. A is True and R is False.
2. A is False and R is True.
3. Both A and R are True.
4. Both A and R are False.

Options

• (1)

• (2)

• (3)

• (4)

Answer 1

(2)

Explanation:

Fertilization does not occur in a sperm duct of the female reproductive system. It usually takes place in the fallopian tube (oviduct), especially the ampulla region. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

The vas deferens carries sperms from the epididymis towards the urethra in the male reproductive system. Therefore, the Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false and R is true.
