Model Answer

The two functions of the ovaries in the human female reproductive system are:

  1. Production of female germ-cells (eggs): The ovaries produce and mature eggs. One egg is released every month by one of the ovaries.
  2. Production of hormones: The ovaries are also responsible for the production of certain hormones.

Explanation

This is a direct 2-mark question — one mark per function. The passage explicitly states both functions: egg production and hormone production. Do not name specific hormones (e.g., oestrogen) unless asked, as the textbook does not specify them here. Keep it brief and to the point — examiners award one mark per correctly stated function.
