Embryonic Development

621 Questions

Embryonic development questions cover the biological processes of gamete fusion, germ layer formation, and fetal maturation. The focus lies in identifying extraembryonic structures, trophoblast functions, and sequential developmental stages. This specialized topic appears regularly in biology screening tests and medical entrance examinations.

Multiple choice
  1. Recurrent apomixis

  2. Non-recurrent apomixis

  3. Adventive embryony

  4. Vegetative apomixis

  5. Adventitious embryony

B Correct answer
Explanation

Non-recurrent apomixis is where an embryo arises directly from a normal egg-cell without the process of fertilization. Egg cells are haploid and hence, the resulting embryo is also haploid. It includes haploid parthenogenesis, haploid apogamy and adrogamy.

Multiple choice
  1. Umbilical cord

  2. Inner cell mass of the blastocyst

  3. Decidua

  4. Myoblast cells

  5. Trophectoderm

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

The developing embryo has two main populations of cells: an inner cell mass and a trophectoderm. The trophectoderm cells lie at the outer surface of the developing embryo and will become the placenta.

Multiple choice
  1. egg and polar nuclei

  2. egg

  3. synergids

  4. antipodal cells

  5. synergids and antipodal cells

C Correct answer
Explanation

Synergids direct the growth of pollen tube by secreting some chemical substances.

Multiple choice
  1. Pericardium and pleura

  2. Salivary glands

  3. Thymus gland

  4. Lungs

  5. Eye

A Correct answer
Explanation

It is the covering of heart called the pericardium, and the membrane that surrounds the lungs is called the pleura. It is produced by mesoderm.
