Marking-scheme solution
(a) (i) Outside the abdominal cavity in scrotum, sperm formation requires a lower temperature than the normal body temperature. Function:
-Formation of sperms / male gamete
-Production of testosterone / male sex hormone
(b) (i) ($\displaystyle 1$) Buds present on the leaf margins in notches begin to grow to give rise to a new plant - Vegetative propagation
(2) Each part of Planaria grows into complete organism Regeneration.
(3) The spores begin to grow after reaching a suitable moist surface - Spore formation.
Zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule.
Ovule develops a tough coat and is converted into seed.
Ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit.
Petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma may shrivel and fall off.
