Each Point: 1 Mark

The knowledge of the background to the reproduction process can be used in different contexts:
- to prevent unwanted pregnancy (with different degrees of reliability).
- to control the size of a family.
- to ensure that no children are produced after a few.
- to maintain the health of a woman, in case she is adversely affected by pregnancy.
- to maximise the chance of pregnancy (10% of couples experience problems in having children, and about a third of those cannot be corrected).
