  • 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 oocyte
  • 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.
