Lactation after child birth is possible due to decrease in the secretion of:
1. HCG
2. oxytocin
3. FSH and LH
4. estrogen and progesterone
The initial phase of the cortical reaction leads to:
1. slow block to polyspermy
2. fast block to polyspermy
3. formation of pronuclei
4. completion of acrosome reaction
Prolactin is secreted by:
1. hypothalamus
2. anterior pituitary
3. posterior pituitary
4. mammary glands
The first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals immediately following delivery of the newborn is called:

1. Spermatogenesis begins at puberty.
2. Secondary spermatocyte has 23 chromosomes.
3. Oogenesis lasts only from puberty until menopause
4. oogenesis begins in fetal life
Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Granulosa cells produce estrogen
2. LH surge is due to peak secretion of progesterone
3. The corpus luteum secretes both progesterone and estrogen along with inhibin
4. FSH acts directly on granulosa cells
The uterine contractions [labor pains] are initiated due to:
1. An increase in estrogen secretion
2. A decrease in oxytocin secretion
3. An increase in the progesterone: estrogen ratio
4. A decrease in FSH and LH
Fructose and prostaglandins are contributed to the seminal plasma by:
1. | epididymis | 2. | seminal vesicles |
3. | vas deferens | 4. | prostate gland |
Polar bodies:
1. | serve both as a dumping ground for extra sets of chromosomes and ensure that the ovum will have most of the cytoplasm. |
2. | get rid of of defective sets of chromosomes. |
3. | have no function. |
4. | prevent twin pregnancies. |
