Correct answer
Explanation
It is the process by which mature spermatids are released from sertoli cells into the seminiferous tubule.
-
Inguinal canals
-
Tunica albuginea
-
Tunica vaginalis
-
Testicular lobules
-
Semiferous tubules
A
Correct answer
Explanation
It is a passage in the anterior abdominal wall through which testis descend permanently into respective scrotal sacs during the seventh month of development.
-
They arise from epididymis.
-
They are slightly coiled in the scrotum and straight in the abdomen.
-
Their lining has stereocillia.
-
They carry spermatozoa from cauda epididymis to ejaculatory ducts.
-
All of the above
E
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the correct answer.
-
Prostate glands
-
Cowper's glands
-
Prostaglandins
-
Pituitary glands
-
Preputial glands
C
Correct answer
Explanation
These glands stimulate contraction in the female reproductive tract.
-
acrosome
-
ligase
-
hyaluronidase
-
amylase
-
None of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the lyctic enzyme released by a sperm.
-
gestation
-
gastrulation
-
segmentation
-
conception
-
parturition
D
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the process of fertilisation.
-
Germ Cell
-
Tube Cell
-
Tapetum
-
Sporoderm
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This cell forms the sperm cells that fertilize the egg in the flower. In the loculi of the anthers, cells produce pollen mother cells. They undergo the process of mitosis to form sperm cells: each mother cell creates four sperm cells. The original germ cell divides into two sperm cells. This split can occur before or after the grain reaches the stigma, depending on the species.
-
acrosomal reaction
-
amphimixis
-
cortical reaction
-
Capacitation
-
Microvilli
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the merging of the nuclei of the sperm and egg cells resulting in fertilisation.
-
Spermatogenesis
-
Amniocentesis
-
Gametogenesis
-
Oogenesis
-
Karyokinesis
B
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the test used to detect the sex of the foetus.
-
Anus
-
Scrotum
-
Ovary
-
Testis
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A Testis is one of a pair of organs and part of the male reproductive system. They are the site of sperm production and are also the major producer of the male hormone Testosterone. These are male gonads.
-
ovum
-
zygote
-
blastocyst
-
morula
B
Correct answer
Explanation
After a female egg is fertilized, it becomes known as a zygote. Once the egg is fertilized, the zygote begins a two-week period of rapid cell division and will eventually become an embryo. The zygote divides through a process known as mitosis, in which each cell doubles by dividing into two cells.
-
The Mammary Glands
-
Fallopian Tubes
-
Scrotum sac
-
Cervix
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The scrotum is a sac that hangs under the penis and holds the testes in males. It is divided internally into two halves by a membrane each half containing a testis.
