Human Reproductive System Questions

Multiple choice
  1. tube nucleus

  2. generative nucleus

  3. endosperm nucleus

  4. zygote

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

One male gamete fuses with the egg cell to form the diploid zygote (2n), which develops into the embryo. The other male gamete fuses with polar nuclei to form the endosperm nucleus. Tube and generative nuclei are pollen structures, not fertilization products.

Multiple choice
  1. triple fusion

  2. zygote

  3. endosperm

  4. androecium

A Correct answer
Explanation

Triple fusion refers to the fusion of one male gamete with the two polar nuclei in the embryo sac, forming a triploid primary endosperm nucleus. This is the second fertilization event in double fertilization. The zygote forms from the first male gamete fusing with the egg cell.

Multiple choice
  1. Female reproductive system

  2. Circulatory system

  3. Excretory system

  4. Male reproductive system

D Correct answer
Explanation

 Epididymis is a part of male reproductive system and is a tightly coiled tube connecting the efferent ducts from each testicle to vas deferens

Multiple choice
  1. prevent more than one sperm from entering the egg

  2. digest the vitelline layer

  3. ensure that the egg is being fertilized by a sperm of the same species

  4. sever the sperm's tail

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

Bindin is a species-specific protein found on the acrosomal process of sperm that recognizes and binds to receptors on the egg's vitelline membrane. This mechanism ensures that fertilization occurs only between gametes of the same species.

Multiple choice
  1. polar nuclei

  2. stigma

  3. funicle

  4. aril

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

Obturators are specialized structures that guide the pollen tube towards the micropyle during fertilization. They are typically outgrowths of the funicle or placenta in certain plant families.
