Problem:
Question 1: The final stage of sperm maturation is cumulatively called ...... and does not occur until the sperm has been in the female's reproductive tract for some time.
- Fertilization
- Ejaculation
- Capacitation
- Spermatogenesis
- None of the above
Question 2: The resting membrane potential of the egg cell membrane is maintained at :
- + 70 mV
- -70 mV
- -20 mV
- +20 mV
- None of the above
Question 3: In sea urchin, prevention of polyspermy is achieved by the fusion of the contents of granules to form a ......
- Vitelline envelope
- Fertilization envelope
- Mucopolysaccharide
- Acrosome vesical
- Both A and B are correct
Question 4: Mammalian egg cell membrane is surrounded by a thick extracellular matric known
- Vitelline envelope
- Zona pellucida
- Corona radiate
- Egg jelly
- Cumulus
Question 5: If two sperms successfully enter oan ovum and fertilization occurs which of the following be expected to happen:
- A zygote with 3 nuclei would be formed
- One sperm would be destroyed by the proteolytic enzymes of the cortical granules in t
- Triplets would be formed
- A baby with three sets of each organ would be formed
- A zygote with triploid set of chromosomes would be formed
Question 6: Scientists interested in learning the role of cumulus- containing matric, surgically remoing layer from a mammalian egg just about to be released by the ovary and then re-implanted back into the ovary. Based on your understanding of the function of the cumulus layers, which you think happened to the mature egg assuming it did not die?
- It entered the oviduct to be fertilized
- It developed another cumulus matrix layer around it
- It was unable to adhere or enter the oviduct for fertilization
- It caused early menopause
- Both A and B are correct
