Rationale: Abortion is important due to the serious complications it can cause, such as infections and maternal death. Choices A and B are incorrect because ease of conducting or diagnosing abortion procedures does not inherently make abortion important. Choice D is incorrect because not all the options listed are reasons why abortion is important; only choice C highlights the critical aspect of potential complications.

• A. Malnutrition
• B. Peritoneum
• C. Fibroids
• D. Septicaemia

• A. Binary fission
• B. Meiosis
• C. Budding
• D. Mitosis

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cell division through the process of mitosis.

Choice A, binary fission, is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, not the process that occurs after fertilization in multicellular organisms. Choice B, meiosis, is a type of cell division that leads to the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes, not the process that occurs after fertilization. Choice C, budding, is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some organisms like yeast, but it is not the process of cell division after fertilization.

5. How many arteries are there in an umbilical cord?

• A. Three

Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct number of arteries in an umbilical cord.
