- B. Treponema pallidum
- C. Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- D. Escherichia coli
Explanation: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are infections that are passed from one person to another…
Correct answer: Neisseria gonorrhoeae- A. Primary spermatocytes
- B. Secondary spermatocytes
- C. Spermatozoa
- D. Spermatids
Explanation: Spermatogonia differentiate into spermatocytes, which then undergo meiosis to later form mature sperm cells.
Correct answer: Primary spermatocytes- A. Inside the seminiferous tubules
- B. Between the seminiferous tubules
- C. Among the germinal epithelial cells
- D. Around the testes
Explanation: The interstitial cells, also known as Leydig cells, are located in the connective tissue spaces between the seminiferous tubules in the…
Correct answer: Between the seminiferous tubules- A. Germ cells
- B. Sertoli cells
- C. Interstitial cells
- D. Spermatocytes
Explanation: Interstitial cells, also known as Leydig cells, are located in the connective tissue spaces between the seminiferous tubules in the…
Correct answer: Interstitial cells- A. Prolactin
- B. FSH
- C. Progesterone
- D. LH
Explanation: The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure that forms in the ovary after ovulation.
Correct answer: Progesterone- A. Progesterone
- B. FSH
- C. LH
- D. Estrogen
Explanation: LH spurs ovulation and helps with the hormone production needed to support pregnancy.
Correct answer: LH- A. Spermatogenesis
- B. Gametogenesis
- C. Ovulation
- D. None of these
Explanation: Gametogenesis is the production of gametes from haploid precursor cells.
Correct answer: Gametogenesis- A. Identical twins
- B. Dizygotic twins
- C. Fraternal twins
- D. Siamese twins
Explanation: Siamese twins or also known as Conjoined twins. It is a very rare condition in which twins are joined side to side at the pelvis and part…
Correct answer: Siamese twins- A. When oocyte is fertilized by sperm
- B. When ovum is discharged from the ovary
- C. Just before fertilization
- D. Before the onset of menstruation
Explanation: The correct answer is when the oocyte is fertilized by a sperm. This marks the completion of the second meiotic division, leading to the…
Correct answer: When oocyte is fertilized by sperm- A. Option A: Cytokinins
- B. Option B: Abscisic acid
- C. Option C: Ethylene
- D. Option D: Auxin
Explanation: Ethylene is the correct answer because it is the primary plant hormone responsible for promoting fruit ripening.
Correct answer: Option C: Ethylene- A. Inhibits anterior pituitary release follicle stimulating g hormone
- B. Increase anterior pituitary release of follicle stimulating hormone
- C. Inhibit release of luteinizing hormone
- D. Increaserelease of luteinizing hormoneave
Explanation: When the sperm count exceeds set limits,The hormone inhibits GnRH and FSH, decreasing the activity of the Sertoli cells.
Correct answer: Inhibits anterior pituitary release follicle stimulating g hormone- A. Sudden weight loss
- B. Active immune function
- C. Vision impairment
- D. Kaposi's sarcoma, a rare form of skin cancer
Explanation: Stage 1: Acute HIV Infection Within 2 to 4 weeks after infection with HIV, about two-thirds of people will have a flu-like illness.
Correct answer: Sudden weight loss- A. Excessive growth of hairs on skin
- B. Pubic hair growth
- C. Menarche
- D. Heaviness of voice
Explanation: Menarche is the first occurrence of menstruation as soon as puberty is achieved, and it does not occur in males.
Correct answer: Menarche- A. Lactation
- B. Ovulation
- C. Placentation
- D. Menstruation
Explanation: Ovulation is the process in which a mature egg (ovum) is released from the ovary.
Correct answer: Ovulation- A. Vas deferens
- B. Urethra
- C. Epididymis
- D. Bladder
- E. Sperm duct
Explanation: Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules.
Correct answer: Epididymis- A. 12
- B. 25
- C. 50
- D. 60
Explanation: Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and fertility.
Correct answer: 50- A. Fertilization
- B. Pollination
- C. Follicle formation
- D. Ovulation
Explanation: Ovulation is the process in which a mature follicle within the ovary releases a secondary oocyte (also known as an ovum) into the…
Correct answer: Ovulation- A. The ovum and sperms are transported non-simultaneously to ampullary-isthmic junction of the Fallopian tube
- B. The sperms are transported into cervix within 48 hrs of release of ovum in uterus
- C. The sperms are transported into vagina just after the release of ovum in Fallopian tube
- D. The ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary-isthmic junction of the Fallopian tube
Explanation: Fertilization is the process where a haploid male gamete (sperm) and a haploid female gamete (ovum) fuse to form a diploid zygote.
