  • 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: Cervix
  • 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 cells
  • 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
