In vertebrate animals, spermatogenesis and oogenesis differ, in that 1.) Cytokinesis is unequal in oogenesis whereas it i equal in spermatogenesis 2.) spermatogenesis is not completed until after fertilization occurs, but oogenesis is completed by the time a girl is born 3.) Oogenesis produces four haploid cells, whereas spermatogenesis produces only one functional spermatozoon 4.) Oogensis ends at menopause. Whereas spermatogenesis is finished before birth 5.) Oogensis begins at the onset of sexual maturity whereas spermatogenesis happens in embryonic development
One day while walking across campus, you see a female butterfly laying fertilized eggs, as shown in the image: 1. What type of ovarioles would the adult female butterfly have (hint: remember the Order of butterflies)? a. Panoistic ovarioles b. Plasmatocytic ovarioles c. Polytrophic ovarioles d. Collaterial ovarioles e. Telotrophic ovarioles 2. Which combination of mechanisms would the butterfly use to supply vitellogenins/maternal mRNAs to the developing oocytes? a. Follicular epithelial cells/trophocytes contained within the follicle b. Apical cells of germarium/nutritive cords c. Follicular epithelial cells/nucleus of the oocyte d. Prefollicular tissue in germarium/trophoocytes that remain in germarium 3. Which statement is correct with respect to the hormonal regulation of the development of the ovaries and vitellogenesis in the adult female butterfly? (Hint: the processes are the same as in a female mosquito.) a.…
What stimulates the completion of meiosis Il in a secondary oocyte? O a) A surge of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) following the degeneration of the corpus luteum O b) A surge of Luteinising Hormone (LH) on day 13 of the menstrual cycle O) Sperm-egg binding at fertilisation d) Sperm-zona pellucida binding at fertilisation
In a possible future scenario, male fertility drops to zero, but, luckily, scientists develop a way for women to pro-duce babies by virgin birth. Meiocytes are converted di-rectly (without undergoing meiosis) into zygotes, which implant in the usual way. What would be the short- andlong-term effects in such a society?
8.) Removal of the corpus luteum from an ovary will cause which of the following changes? a.) decreased secretion of FSH b.) decreased secretion of LH c.) none of these d.) increased secretion of GNRH 11.) Primary oocytes are the end-products of which of the following processes? a.) meiosis I b.) mitosis c.) meiosis I d.) none of these
1. Cite differences between frog and chicken ovary. Cite the differences of spermatogenesis on frog and chicken.
TC ARO YOUT C Which of the following events does not occur in spermatogenesis? (Circle the correct answer.) a. Diploid germ cells divide by mitosis to form diploid spermatogonia. b. Some of these spermatogonia divide by mitosis, forming haploid primary spermatocytes. c. The primary spermatocyte enters meiosis I, forming two haploid secondary spermatocytes. d. Two secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II, forming four spermatids. e. Spermatids mature into haploid sperm cells. PAO 7 In humans, spermatogenesis occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. (Circle the correct answer.) True False . In plants, (Circle the correct answer.) a. the life cycle is different from that of animals in that plants alternate between diploid and haploid forms plants, and male gametes are produced in the anthers of flowers
Why is a second polar body expelled after fertilisation? a) To remove excess cytoplasm b) Because the oocyte must reactivate the incomplete meiosis before fusing with the sperm c) Before fusion with the sperm it must complete mitosis d) The fertilised oocyte is not a haploid cell until it expels the sperms mitochondria
1).
Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of sex determination? A) The product of the SRY gene converts the bipotential gonads into testes. B) The development of an ovary is conditioned by the presence of two X chromosomes. (C) Testosterone promotes the degeneration of the Mullerian duct. D. The ovary produces a Wolffian inhibition factor that causes the Wolffian duct to degenerate. E) The "feminization" of accessory sex orgarts is promoted by the ovary.
Spermatogenesis and oogenesis both involve meiosis but differ in significant ways. One of those differences include what? A) Cytokinesis is unequal in spermatogenesis B) Production of sperm is continuous; in humans, and the number of future egg cells is set at birth C) Oogenesis is an uninterrupted sequence, but there are long delays in spermatogenesis D) All of the above
