Explanation / Answer

31. The sperm is male reproductive cell and consists of head, mid piece and tail.

The sperm head contains the nucleus which is composed of the chromosomes.

Human sperm is haploid

So the answer is the head contains 23 chromosomes.

32. The cremastor muscles contract to bring the testes closer to the body when it is cold.

If it is hot cremastor muscles relax and takes testes away from body.

So the statement is false

33. Seminal vesicles are tubular glands present in human males.

They are located posteroinferior to the urinary bladder.

They produce fluid that later develops into sperm.

The answer is seminal vesicle

34. Testosterone is male sex hormone.

The answer is (b) GnRH from the hypothalamus causes FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary

35. Testosterone injections cause decrease in LH, FSH and GnRH.

It also increases sex drive and muscle mass

So the answer is all the answers are correct.
