1. To produce test tube baby, the egg fertilized outside the human body, is placed in the womb of the mother, where the gastrula period is completed.

Question 2: The new membrane formed by follicular cells is called
(a) Zona granulosa
(b) Zona pellucida
(c) Plasma membrane
(d) Tertiary membrane
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Zona pellucida

Explanation:
1. The mature ovum or female gamete is spherical in shape. The human ovum is almost free of yolk and said to be alecithal. Its cytoplasm is called ooplasm containing large nucleus. The cytoplasm is enveloped by plasma membrane. Very small cortical granules are present under the plasma membrane.
2. A narrow perivitelline space is present outside the plasma membrane. Just outer to perivitelline space, there is thick non-cellular zona pellucida, secreted by follicular cells. Outer to the zona pellucida there is very thick cellular corona radiate.
3. The latter is formed of radially elongated follicular cells. The side of ovum which extrudes polar bodies is termed animal pole. The opposite side is called vegetal pole. Human ouvm loses its ability to be fertilized about 24 hours after ovulation. In human beings ovum is released from ovary as secondary oocyte

Question 3: There is no DNA in
(a) An enucleated ovum
(b) Mature RBCs
(c) A mature spermatozoan
(d) Hair root
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Mature RBCs

Explanation:
1. The chromatin material inside the nucleus is composed of DNA, some proteins and RNA. Thus, in an enucleated ovum, DNA will be present in mitochondria.
2. The mature RBCs, lack nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles, i.e., lack DNA in nucleus and mitochondria.

4. (b) The unfertilized egg and soft tissue are discharged.
5. (c) It lasts 3-5 days.
6. (ii) Follicular Phase/Proliferative Phase (a) The primary follicles in the ovary grow and become a fully mature Graafian follicle.
7. (b) The endometrium of the uterus is regenerated due to the secretion of LH and FSH from anterior pituitary and ovarian hormone, estrogen.
8. (c) It least for about 10-14 days.
9. (iii) Ovulatory Phase (a) Rapid secretion of LH (LH surge) induces rupture of Graafian follicle, thereby leading to ovulation (release of ovum).
10. (b) It lasts for only about 48 hr.
11. (iv) Luteal Phase/Secretor Phase (a) In this phase the ruptured follicle changes into corpus luteum in the ovary and it begins to secrete the hormone progesterone.
12. (b) The endometrium thickens further and their glands secrete a fluid into the uterus.
13. c) If ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum undergoes degeneration and this causes disintegration of the endometrium leading to menstruation

Answer: (c) Secondary oocyte

Explanation:
1. Ovulation (release of egg or ovum from ovary into body cavity) involves the extrusion of a secondary oocyte from the ovary. Actually by 10-14 days after the first day of menstruation, only one follicle has contained its growth to become a fully mature Graafian follicle, while other follicles regress through a process called follicle atresia. Under proper hormonal stimulation, Graafian follicle rupture and extrude its oocyte into the uterine tube in the process of ovulation.

Answer: (a) Sweat gland

Explanation:
1. Mammary glands are modified sweat glands that lie over the pectoral muscle. They occur in all female mammals and in a rudimentary from in all male mammals. In the human female, the mammary glands start to increase in size at puberty because of fat accumulation and reach their maximum development in approximately the twentieth year. These undergo additional development during pregnancy essential function of mammary gland is milk production which has nutritive and immunologic properties.

Question 24: The main tissue present in breast is ……. tissue
(a) Glandular
(b) Sequamous
(c) Ciliated
(d) Epithelium
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Glandular

Explanation:
1. The glandular tissue comprises about 15-20 lobes in each breast. Each lobe is made up of number of lobules.
2. Each lobule is composed of grape like cluster of milk secreting glands termed as alveoli. When milk is produced, it passes from alveoli into mammary lobules and into the mammary ducts

Question 25: Rapid secretion of LH in ovulation causes
(a) Repturing of Graafian follicle
(b) Releasing of ove
(c) Ovulation
(d) All of the above
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) All of the above

Explanation:
1. In the ovulatory phase, both LH and FSH attain a peak level in middle of cycle (about 14 day). Rapid secretion of LH induces rupturing of Graafian follicle and thereby releasing the ovum in human beings (secondary oocyte is released). This is called ovulation. Infact increase level of LH causes ovulation
