Multiple Choice

Which of the following is associated with the egg in sexual reproduction?

Formation in the testes

Production of spermatozoa

Presence of flagella for motility

Cytoplasm-rich environment

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context of the question: it asks about characteristics associated with the egg in sexual reproduction, so focus on features unique to eggs (female gametes).

Recall that eggs are typically large cells with abundant cytoplasm, which provides nutrients and organelles necessary for early development, unlike sperm which are streamlined for motility.

Recognize that formation in the testes and production of spermatozoa are processes related to male gametes, so these options are not associated with eggs.

Note that the presence of flagella is a feature of sperm cells, enabling motility, whereas eggs are generally non-motile and lack flagella.

Conclude that the characteristic 'cytoplasm-rich environment' is specific to eggs, as they contain a large amount of cytoplasm to support the developing embryo after fertilization.
