Direction: Read these passages from the text and answer the questions that follow.

Egg Production
At birth, a female’s ovaries contain all the eggs she will ever produce. However, the
eggs do not start to mature until she enters puberty. After menarche, one egg typically matures
each month until a woman reaches middle adulthood.

Oogenesis
The process of producing eggs in the ovary is called oogenesis. Eggs, like sperm, are
haploid cells, and their production occurs in several steps that involve different types of cells,
as shown in the figure below. You can follow the process of oogenesis in the figure as you
read about it below.

Oogenesis begins long before birth when an oogonium with the diploid number of
chromosomes undergoes mitosis. It produces a diploid daughter cell called a primary oocyte. The
primary oocyte, in turn, starts to go through the first cell division of meiosis (meiosis I). However, it
does not complete meiosis until much later. The primary oocyte remains in a resting state, nestled
in a tiny, immature follicle until puberty.
 Maturation of a Follicle
Beginning in puberty, each month one of the follicles and its primary oocyte starts to mature.
The primary oocyte resumes meiosis and divides to form a secondary oocyte and a smaller cell,
called a polar body. Both the secondary oocyte and polar body are haploid cells. The secondary
oocyte has most of the cytoplasm from the original cell and is much larger than the polar body.

Ovulation and Fertilization

After 12–14 days, when the follicle is mature, it bursts open, releasing the secondary oocyte
from the ovary. This event is called ovulation. The follicle, now called a corpus luteum, starts to
degenerate, or break down. After the secondary oocyte leaves the ovary, it is swept into the
nearby Fallopian tube by the waving, fringe-like end.

If the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm as it is passing through the Fallopian tube, it
completes meiosis and forms a mature egg and another polar body. (The polar bodies break down
and disappear.) If the secondary oocyte is not fertilized, it passes into the uterus as an immature
egg and soon disintegrates.

Questions
1. A man produces sperm daily after puberty. When does a women produce her eggs?
2. What is oogenesis?
3. When does the haploid egg form?
4. What is ovulation? When does ovulation occur?
5. When is meiosis competed?

Reading Comprehension: Directions: Read the song below and then answer the following questions
below.

“Till My Heartaches End”

Sang by: Ella Mae Saison/Carol Banawa

I recall when you said that you would never leave me

You told me more, so much more like when the time you whispered
in my ear
There was heaven in my heart
I remember when you said that you’d be here forever

Then you left without even saying that you’re leaving

I was hurt and it really won’t be easy to forget yesterday
And I pray that you would stay
But then you’re gone and oh, so far away

I was afraid this time would come

I wasn’t prepared to face this kind of hurting from within
I have learned to live my life beside you
Maybe I’ll just dream of you tonight
And if into my dreams you’ll come and touch me once again
I’ll just keep on dreaming till my heartaches end

1. What was the general message of the song? Why?

2. Why did the writer or the singer utter, “Maybe I’ll just dream of you tonight, and if into my dreams
you’ll come and touch me once again, I’ll just keep on dreaming till my heartaches end”. What is the
meaning of that line? To whom it was intended? Elucidate your answer.

3. What literary device and point-of-view was used in the song? Why?
4. What are the sensory descriptions used in the song? Explain.
5. If you will be given a chance to write a song, what would be its title and what it’s all about? To
whom it was dedicated? Explain.

correct statements. If it is FALSE, change the word or group of words that falsify the
statement.

1. Haiku is an unrhymed poem consisting of 5-7-5 pattern.

3. Literature stimulates critical thinking that deteriorates mental process of abstract and reasoning.
4. Literature is not a product of a particular culture that concretizes man‘s array of values, emotions,
actions, and ideas.

meaning as distinct from an implied or associated idea while connotation is the suggested or
implied meanings associated with the word in its dictionary definition.

illusion.
7. Metaphor uses words like “such as, like, as” to compare seemingly unlike things or ideas.
8. The human attributes to inanimate things is oxymoron.
9. The use of one word to stand for a related term or replacement of a word is what we call

 Not Marble, Nor the Gilded Monuments
By William Shakespeare
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmear’d with sluttish time.

When wasteful war shall statues overturn,

And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
‘Gainst death and all oblivious enmity.

Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room,
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to ending doom.
So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lover’s eyes.

Ozymandias
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown.

And wrinkled lip, and snee of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, styamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
