  • A. Secondary oocyte and second polar body
  • B. Ovum and secondary polar body
  • C. Secondary oocytes and first polar body
  • D. Germ cell and first polar body

Explanation: Secondary oocyte and first polar body divide by meiosis-II to give rise to an ovum and three polar bodies in the end.

Correct answer: Ovum and secondary polar body
  • A. Umbilical cord
  • B. Placenta
  • C. Conception
  • D. Pregnancy

Explanation: Placenta is a physical connection between maternal uterine wall and foetal tissue.

Correct answer: Placenta
  • A. Human male
  • B. Human female
  • C. Ovaries of females
  • D. Uterus of females

Explanation: In males, meosis is not initiated until postnatal life at the onset of puberty, and the goal is to form the millions of gametes required…

Correct answer: Human male
  • A. Menstrual cycle
  • B. Menstruation
  • C. Oogenesis
  • D. Gametogenesis

Explanation: Changes in whole reproductive system indicate menstrual cycle i.e. changes in uterus as well as in ovary.

Correct answer: Menstrual cycle
  • A. Ovulation
  • B. Menstruation
  • C. Follicle degeneration
  • D. Follicle atresia

Explanation: When one follicle starts development rest of the follicles degenerate this is called follicle atresia.

Correct answer: Follicle atresia
  • A. Secretion of FSH
  • B. Laying down of endometrium
  • C. Secretion of LH
  • D. Laying down of endometrium and secretion of LH

Explanation: Estrogen hormone initiate thickening of uterine wall and stimulates laying down of endometrium.

Correct answer: Laying down of endometrium and secretion of LH
  • A. Progesterone
  • B. LH
  • C. LTH
  • D. Prolactin

Explanation: It is luteinizing hormone which induces rupturing of mature follicle (ovulation) and formation of corpus luteum.

Correct answer: LH
  • A. Placenta
  • B. Corpus luteum
  • C. Follicle
  • D. Endometrium

Explanation: Corpus luteum is a yellow colored structure formed by the rupturing of follicle during ovulation. It secretes progestone.

Correct answer: Corpus luteum
  • A. 4-8 days
  • B. 3-7 days
  • C. 2-5 days
  • D. 5-9 days

Explanation: The discharge of blood and cell debris known as menstruation. This stage usually lasts for 3 - 7 days.

Correct answer: 3-7 days
  • A. Spermatogensis
  • B. Fertilization
  • C. Menstruation
  • D. Oogenesis

Explanation: Oogenesis in human females starts before birth. And is arrested at prophase I unless they achieve puberty.

Correct answer: Oogenesis
  • A. Luteal
  • B. Secrectory
  • C. Proliferative
  • D. Ovulation

Explanation: Based on the explanations provided, the correct answer to the question is option C) Proliferative.

Correct answer: Proliferative
  • A. Menstruation : Breakdown of myometrium and ovum fertilized
  • B. Proliferative phase: Rapid regeneration of myometrium and maturation of Graffian follicle
  • C. Ovulation : LH and FSH attain peak level and sharp fall in the secretion of progesterone
  • D. Secretory phase : Development of corpus luteurn and increased secretion of progesterone

Explanation: The secretory phase is the phase of the menstrual cycle that follows ovulation.

Correct answer: Secretory phase : Development of corpus luteurn and increased secretion of progesterone
  • A. Staphylococcus aureus
  • B. Treponema pallidum
