When a sperm enters an egg of frog
-
First polar body is formed
-
First meiotic division occurs
-
Second meiotic division occurs
-
Fertilization process is completed
When a sperm enters the cytoplasm of the oocyte, there is a cortical reaction, which prevents other sperms from fertilising that egg. The oocyte now (after sperm enters the oocyte) undergoes second meiotic division producing haploid ovum and releases a polar body.
So, the correct answer is option C.
Ureter of male Frog has a swelling called vesicular seminalis. It
-
Stores Urine
-
Stores sperms
-
Stores ova
-
Both A and B
In frog, from the outer smooth convex posterior side of each kidney arises a mesonephric or wolffian duct or ureter which passes backwards to open into the dorsal side of cloaca. In the males, the ureter dilates just posterior to the kidney to form a vesicula seminalis. Its function is to store sperms.
Croaking of Frog is
-
Hunger call
-
Sex call for female
-
Danger call
-
Musical note
In frogs, males frogs can be distinguished by the presence of to attract a mate, the male frog croaks from a shallow puddle, sending out ripples that invite not just female frogs, but also hungry bats. Male túngara frogs croak from shallow puddles to attract mates. Male frogs grow pads on their forelegs that help them to grasp the females in an embrace known as amplexus.
Croaking is
-
Call for food
-
Indication of enemy
-
Call for mating
-
Call of hibernation
Female frogs listen to the croaking of male frogs, and this helps them choose the most suitable ones for mating. Another reason for which male frogs croak is to claim territory. By croaking loudly at night, a male frog warns other males that a particular part of a territory is already occupied.
Oviduct of female frog has a swelling or ovisac for storing
-
Sperms
-
Ova
-
Albumen
-
Urine
In female frog, on each side of the ovary there is a long much coiled whitish glandular tube called oviduct or Mullerian duct. At the anterior end of each oviduct there is an oviducal funnel with a wide aperture called ostium.. The posterior part of the oviduct dilates to form a thin walled ciliated ovisac , where the ova are stored and agglutinated. So, the correct answer is 'Ova'.
In humans, oviduct is formed by
-
Wolffian duct
-
Bidders canal
-
Metanephric duct
-
Mullerian duct
A nephron is devoid of loop of Henle in
-
Man
-
Rabbit
-
Frog
-
Dog
Nephron of frog is short, it lacks Henle's loop because water conservation is not important in amphibians who reside near water. Whereas for other animals the loop of henle present in the nephron helps in water conservation. So, the correct answer is 'Frog'.
Which is useful in metamorphosis of tadpole into frog?
-
Aldosterone
-
Thyroxine
-
Pituitary
-
Oxytocin
Metamorphism is a hormonal effect influenced by hormones. The metamorphism in frogs is under the control of thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. Frogs live in water bodies with rich iodine content to produce thyroxine.The deficiency in iodine would result in a retarded growth.
How many ova are laid by a mature female frog at a time _____________.
-
3500 - 4500
-
2500 - 3000
-
1450 - 1500
-
500 1000
Female frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at a time, which are immediately fertilized by the male. Frogs become sexually mature around four years of age. They emerge from hibernation from February to March to seek out breeding grounds. Females lay their eggs in shallow water. It takes about 40 days for tadpoles to emerge from the eggs.
Pylangium in frog occurs in
-
Conus arteriosus
-
Sinus venosus
-
Atrium
-
Ventricle
The truncus arteriosus is formed of a basal thick-walled conus arteriosus and a distal thin-walled ventral aorta. Its conus arteriosus part which is next to the ventricle is known as pylangium and the distal ventral part as synangium. Pylangium is a short tubular structure, while synangium is simply formed by the union of the basal parts of the arteries.
