Zona pellucida is a membrane surrounding:
1. | Secondary oocyte | 2. | Secondary follicle |
3. | Corona Radiata | 4. | Trophoblast cells |
What ensures that only one sperm can fertilize the ovum?
1. Corona Radiata
2. Ground substance around ovum
3. Zona pellucida
4. Acrosome
Fertilization occurs at:
1. Infundibulum of the fallopian tube
2. Ampullary – isthmic junction of the fallopian tube
3. Fundus of the uterus
4. Body of the uterus
What is the usual number of primary follicles in both ovaries of a female at puberty?
1. | 60000 – 80000 | 2. | 120000 – 160000 |
3. | 1 million to 2 million | 4. | About 7 million |
In humans, the sex of the baby is determined:
1. | At the time of fertilization and by the father |
2. | At the time of fertilization and by the mother |
3. | At the time of implantation and by the father |
4. | At the time of implantation and by the mother |
At the birth of the female child, the follicles in her ovaries contain:
1. | Primary oocytes that have been arrested at the S phase of the cell cycle |
2. | Primary oocytes that have been arrested at prophase I of meiosis I |
3. | Secondary oocytes that have been arrested prophase I of meiosis I |
4. | Secondary oocytes that have been arrested at metaphase II of meiosis II |
During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, which of the following occur?
I: | The primary follicle grows and becomes a fully mature Graafian follicle. |
II: | The endometrium of the uterus regenerates through proliferation. |
Consider the following statements:
I: | Menstruation only occurs if the released ovum is not fertilized. |
II: | Lack of menstruation always indicates pregnancy. |
Of the given statements, the correct statements is/are:
1. | I only | 2. | II only |
3. | I and II | 4. | None |
The menstrual cycle starts with the:
1. | Follicular phase | 2. | Menstrual phase |
3. | Ovulatory phase | 4. | Secretory phase |
Cleavage is:
1. | Dissolution of the zona pellucida |
2. | A specialized mitotic division in the late fetus |
3. | A specialized meiotic division in the late fetus |
4. | A specialized mitotic division in the zygote and early embryo |
