Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is a masculine adjective in the singular form --you can spot that as it doesn't have an -s, or -es at the end; thus, "el profesor" and "mi tío" are the only men there, refering to only one each.

Number two, it's a femenine adjective in the plural, the we only have "mis hermanaS" in the plural (notice the -S) and well, of course it's referring to women.

Number three, it's a feminine adjective but now in the singular (notice no -s and -a for lady). So we only have here "La estudiante", estudiante being both, masculine and feminine, but the definite article "La" makes it feminine.

Number four, is an adjective for both genres, it is in the singular, so we have those that say "la, el, mi" which are in the singular.

Number five, masculine adjective (-os) in the plural, so we have "hombreS" and "gatoS".

And finally, number six, "pacientes" is both genres in the plural, so we can get "mis hermanAS" as well as "los hombrES" or/and "los gatOS"
