C Fill in the blanks (10 marks, 1 mark each)

1 When we observe onion cells under a microscope, we usually add a few drops of
a solution to the cells to make them easier to observe.
2 If an ovum is not b , the thickened c will break down. Tissues and blood
from it, together with the ovum, will pass out through the vagina. This process is
called d .
3 During labour, the muscles of the e and the abdominal wall contract strongly
and continuously to push the foetus out of the body.
4 In humans, each body cell has f chromosomes. In sex cells, the number of
chromosomes is g of that in the body cells.
E 5 The diaphragm and the condom are often coated with h to kill sperms.
6 Height is an example of i variation whereas whether the thumb can bend
backwards is a j variation.
