"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

first

second

third

fourth


Solution

5

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus

none of these are correct


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
