15421. A pollen tube serves to:
- A. Produce sperms
- B. Store food for the developing embryo
- C. Transfer sperms from the stigma to the ovary
- D. Produce female gametophytes
Explanation: The pollen tube is a crucial structure in the reproductive process of seed plants.
Correct answer: Transfer sperms from the stigma to the ovary- A. Spores
- B. Sperms
- C. Seeds
- D. Ova
Explanation: The testes (or testicles) are critical to the male reproductive system, primarily producing sperm and the hormone testosterone.
Correct answer: Sperms- A. Estrogen
- B. Progesterone
- C. FSH
- D. LH
Explanation: The correct answer is LH, as it is the hormone whose surge triggers ovulation and is detected by ovulation prediction kits.
Correct answer: LH- A. Causes epicotyl (plumule) hook to unbend
- B. Induces increase in leaf area
- C. Elongation of internodes is promoted
- D. Stimulate flowering in long day plants
- E. Phytochrome 660 changes to phytochrome 730
Explanation: Red light does not promote internode elongation in plants. Promoting elongation of internodes: This is known as the stem elongation…
Correct answer: Elongation of internodes is promoted- A. Single cycle
- B. Two cycles
- C. Three cycles
- D. Four cycles
Explanation: The menstrual cycle is governed by hormonal changes. These changes can be altered by using hormonal birth control to prevent pregnancy.
Correct answer: Two cycles- A. Oogonium to primary oocyte
- B. Primary oocyte to secondary oocyte
- C. Secondary oocyte to egg
- D. None of the given options
Explanation: In oogenesis, diploid oogonium goes through mitosis until one develops into a primary oocyte, which will begin the first meiotic division…
Correct answer: Oogonium to primary oocyte- A. Leyding cells
- B. Hensen's node cells
- C. Sertoli cells
- D. Interstitial cells
Explanation: Inhibin hormone is produced by Sertoli cells in human males. Inhibin inhibits the secretion of FSH from the pituitary gland, helping to…
Correct answer: Sertoli cells- A. Spermatocytes
- B. Spermatids
- C. Sertoli cells
- D. Polar bodies
Explanation: Through meiosis sperms are produced. A primary spermatocyte is transformed into two secondary spermatocytes during meiosis I - these cells…
Correct answer: Spermatids- A. Death
- B. Birth
- C. Ovulation
- D. Fertilization
Explanation: The secondary oocyte commences meiosis 2 which arrests at metaphase and will not continue without fertilization.
Correct answer: Fertilization- A. Follicle stimulating
- B. Estrogen
- C. Luteinizing hormone
- D. Progesterone
Explanation: Luteinizing hormone (LH), aids in egg maturation and provides the hormonal trigger to cause ovulation and the release of eggs from the…
Correct answer: Luteinizing hormone- A. Oogonia
- B. Primary oocyte
- C. Secondary oocyte
- D. Ova
Explanation: Option A: Oogonia are the immature egg cells that are present in the ovaries before birth.
Correct answer: Primary oocyte- A. Ovulation
- B. Primary oocyte
- C. Secondary oocyte
- D. Ova
Explanation: Option A: Ovulation is the process of the release of an egg from the ovary. The fallopian tube is not involved in ovulation.
Correct answer: Secondary oocyte15433. Colour of corpus luteum is:
- A. Red
- B. Yellow
- C. Grey
- D. Black
Explanation: Option A: The corpus luteum is not red. If it appears red, it may be due to bleeding or inflammation.
Correct answer: Yellow- A. A. Spermatogonia
- B. B. Oogonia
- C. C. Polar body
- D. D. Ovum
Explanation: The correct answer is Option C: Polar body. During oogenesis, a mature ovum is formed alongside smaller cells known as polar bodies.
Correct answer: C. Polar body- A. AIDS
- B. Hepatitis
- C. Gonorrhoea
- D. All of these
Explanation: Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection. This is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Correct answer: Gonorrhoea- A. 25
- B. 26
- C. 27
- D. 28
Explanation: The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman, but the average is to have periods every 28 days.
Correct answer: 28- A. 2nd month
- B. 3rd month
- C. 4th month
- D. 5th month
Explanation: An embryo is termed a fetus beginning in the 11th week of pregnancy, which is the 9th week of development after fertilization of the egg.
Correct answer: 3rd month- A. Oestrous cycle
- B. Menstrual cycle
- C. Both A and B
- D. None of these
Explanation: Menstrual cycle is the reproductive period or cycle of females , it is a complex cycle controlled by female hormones that cause regular…
Correct answer: Menstrual cycle- A. Estrogen
- B. Progesterone
- C. FSH
- D. LH
Explanation: The ovary, under the stimulus of FSH, also produces estrogen hormone.-This, on one hand, stimulates the endometrium (internal lining of…
