Embryonic Development
572 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.

Embryonic Development Questions
-
fertilisation
-
implantation
-
gestation
-
parturition
-
All of the above
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the attachment of blastocyst to the uterine wall.
-
Pericardium and pleura
-
Salivary glands
-
Thymus gland
-
Lungs
-
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.
-
Allantois
-
Chorion
-
Decidua
-
Aminon
-
Yolk sac
A
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a small sac that pushes out from the gut of embryo near the yolk sac.
-

B
Correct answer
Explanation
In human beings, during the fourth week after fertilisation, the embryo develops a simple heart.
-
Metazoa
-
Diploblastic
-
Triploblastic
-
Coelomates
-
Biennial
-
Kernel
-
Core
-
Plumule
-
metamorphosis
-
anisomerism
-
evolution
-
metastasis
-
neoteny
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Metamorphosis is a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly.
-
The functional kidney of vertebrate embryonic period
-
The functional kidney of fishes, amphibians and petromyzon
-
The functional kidney of adult reptiles, birds and mammals
-
The functional kidney of molluscs
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Metanephric kidney is the functional kidney of adult reptiles, birds and mammals.
-
placenta
-
amniotic sac
-
allantois
-
uterus
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Excretory products of mammalian embryo are eliminated by placenta.
-
gastrula
-
blastocyst
-
blastula
-
morula
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The solid ball of cells ,resembling mulberry fruit ,resulting from the cleavage of zygote is called morula .
-
an outer amnion and inner chorion
-
an outer umbilical cord and inner allantois
-
a single layer of chorionic villi
-
an outer chorion and inner amnion
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Amniotic sac is protected to the inner side by a membrane called amnion and towards the outer side is protected by a membrane called chorion.
-
cleavage
-
blastula
-
organogenesis
-
gastrula
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Gastrula stage follows after blastula and during this stage the cells of blastula develop into a tri-laminar structure and the three germ layers namely ectoderm,mesoderm and endoderm develop.
-
Ingression
-
Involution
-
Invagination
-
Epiboly
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Many types of cell movements occur during gastrula stage of human embryo and ingression is one such stage when cells leave an epithelial sheet to become freely migrating mesenchyme cells.
-
meroblastic
-
holoblastic
-
diploblatic
-
superficial
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Mammalian zygote undergoes total cleavage as yolk is less in amount and thus holoblastic .
-
development of muscles during organogenesis
-
development of cartilage during organogenesis
-
development of bones during organogenesis
-
development of notochord during organogenesis
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue during organogenesis and this is called chondrogenesis.
