- A. HIV / AIDS
- B. Pseudomonas pyogenes
- C. Treponema palladium
- D. Neisseria
Explanation: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Hence, option C is correct.
Correct answer: Treponema palladium- A. Metaphase
- B. Prophase
- C. Anaphase
- D. Telophase
Explanation: In the secondary meiotic division (also known as meiosis II), the secondary oocyte proceeds as far as the metaphase stage.
Correct answer: Metaphase- A. Primary spermatoeyte
- B. Secondary spermatocyte
- C. Spermatogonia
- D. Spermatid
Explanation: Spermatids undergo a process called spermiogenesis to differentiate into mature sperm cells (spermatozoa), involving structural changes to…
Correct answer: Spermatid- A. Cervix
- B. Fallopian tube
- C. External genitellia
- D. Vulva
Explanation: The uterus opens into the vagina through the cervix. The cervix is a cylindrical neck of tissue that connects the uterus to the vagina.
Correct answer: Cervix15785. Treponema palladium causes:
- A. AIDS
- B. Genital herpes
- C. Syphilis
- D. Gonorrhea
Explanation: Treponema pallidum is a bacterium that causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Correct answer: Syphilis- A. Seminiferous
- B. Vas deferens
- C. Ejaculatory duct
- D. Urethra
Explanation: The main duct of the male reproductive tract is the vas deferens, also known as the ductus deferens.
Correct answer: Vas deferens- A. Urinogenital duct
- B. Sperm duct
- C. Ejaculatory duct
- D. Vas deferens
Explanation: The urinogenital duct is a term that refers to the passage of urine (from the urinary system) and sperm (from the reproductive system)…
Correct answer: Urinogenital duct- A. Secondary oocyte
- B. Primary oocytes
- C. Infinite oogonia
- D. Few oogonia
Explanation: Oogonia divide mitotically to form primary oocytes. Oogonia are diploid cells that are found in the ovaries of female mammals.
Correct answer: Primary oocytes- A. Oogonia
- B. Primary oocytes
- C. Secondary oocytes
- D. Ova
Explanation: At the time of birth, a female has about 1-2 million primary oocytes in her ovaries.
Correct answer: Primary oocytes- A. Life cycle
- B. Menstrual cycle
- C. Nitrogen cycle
- D. Uterine cycle
Explanation: The menstrual cycle is part of both the ovarian and uterine cycles, but it is not the same thing as either of them.
Correct answer: Menstrual cycle- A. Sperm duct
- B. Epididymal tubules
- C. Ejaculatory duct
- D. Urethra
Explanation: The proximal part of the vas deferens, also known as the epididymis, forms highly convoluted structures called epididymal tubules.
Correct answer: Epididymal tubules- A. 4 and 16
- B. 4 and 8
- C. 8 and 16
- D. 32 and 16
Explanation: In spermatogenesis, each meiosis cycle produces 4 spermatids. To form 32 spermatids, 8 meiosis cycles are required.
Correct answer: 8 and 16- A. Organic diseases
- B. Genetic diseases
- C. Sexually transmitted diseases
- D. Congenital diseases
Explanation: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that can be spread…
Correct answer: Sexually transmitted diseases- A. Zona pellucida
- B. Corona radiata
- C. Chorioallantois
- D. Amnion
Explanation: The outermost layer of a newly ovulated ovum is called the corona radiata.
Correct answer: Corona radiata- A. Maturation of follicle
- B. Formation of early corpus Iuteum
- C. Regression of corpus luteum
- D. Development of follicle
Explanation: Ovulation occurs before the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle.The ovarian cycle is a monthly cycle that prepares the body for pregnancy.
Correct answer: Formation of early corpus Iuteum- A. Cowper's gland
- B. Sertoli cells
- C. Seminal vesicle
- D. Leydig Cells
Explanation: The secretion of the Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes converts spermatids into sperm.The Sertoli cells are a type…
Correct answer: Sertoli cells15797. Sperms are produced in the:
- A. Seminiferous tubules
- B. Prostate gland
- C. Interstitial cells
- D. Vas deferens
Explanation: Seminiferous tubules are tiny, coiled tubes found in the testes.They are the site of sperm production.Each testis contains about 800…
Correct answer: Seminiferous tubules- A. Seminiferous tubules
- B. Epididymis
- C. Vas deferens
- D. Seminal vesicles
Explanation: Mature sperms are stored in the epididymis. The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that is attached to the back of each testis.
Correct answer: Epididymis- A. Follicle
- B. Interstitial cells
- C. Endometrium
- D. Oviduct
Explanation: When a mature egg leaves the ovary, it enters the fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes are two long, thin tubes that extend from the…
Correct answer: Oviduct- A. Bladder
- B. Uterus
- C. Vagina
- D. Oviduct
Explanation: The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. It is a layer of tissue that is rich in blood vessels and glands.
Correct answer: Uterus
