Introduction:
The reproductive organs are associated with the production of reproductive units called gametes. The purpose of these units is to facilitate the process of zygote formation (fertilization). The secondary reproductive organs provide support and protection.

Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (a) − the clitoris.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (a) − this region is the most sensitive part of the female reproductive system and it lies within the vulva. Both this and the penis are highly sensitive and they possess glans (a specialized rounded part in the terminal portion of both the organs). Thus, the clitoris refers to the highly erectile structure of the female reproductive system which is analogous to the penis in the male reproductive system.
An Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b) − vagina: This part connects the external parts of the genital tract with the inner regions. This area also serves as the entry point for male gametes during sexual intercourse. However, these are not similar to the penis which is the primary erectile structure of the male reproductive system. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) − vestibular bulbs: These are erectile tissues that are associated with the clitoris. However, these are not analogous to the penis. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) − labia minora: These are the structures located between the clitoris (of the vulva) and the vagina. However, these are not analogous to the penis. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (e) − prepuce: This is a cutaneous cum mucus covering around the clitoris. This structure is not analogous to the male erectile reproductive organ. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
