- 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?arrow_forwardAn individual has the chromosomal makeup XX and sexual differentiation proceeds normally. Which of the following would be the case? a. Mullerian ducts will degenerate b. Estrogen promotes development of the vagina c. Anti-Mullerian hormone is present d. Wolffian ducts will develop e. There will be no formation of fetal testesarrow_forwardIn humans:a. How many sperm develop from 100 primaryspermatocytes?b. How many sperm develop from 100 secondaryspermatocytes?c.

Why or why not.arrow_forwardIn humans, how many functional gametes are produced by spermatogenesis and oogenesis? Select one: a. Spermatogenesis Oogenesis One Four b. Spermatogenesis Oogenesis Four One c. Spermatogenesis Oogenesis Four Four d. Spermatogenesis Oogenesis One Onearrow_forward
- Which of the following stages of the fertilization process stimulates completion of meiosis II in the oocyte’s nucleus? A. The sperm nucleus and egg nucleus combine to form the genetic material of the zygote B. Sperm release enzymes to digest the protein layer of the secondary oocyte C. The entry of a sperm into the secondary oocyte D. The swimming of sperm from the vagina, through the uterus, and up to an oviductarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? a. No sperm cells have Y chromosomes. b. All sperm cells have X chromosomes. c. No sperm cells have X chromosomes. d. All sperm cells have Y chromosomes. e. none of the above is truearrow_forwardDuring which of the following meiotic stages determines which combination of parental chromosomes will end up in each gamete. a.

- which As a result of the abnormalities in chromosomes divergence in meiosis, there was formed the secondary oocyte, included 22 autosomes only. What disease can the baby have, after impregnation of this secondary oocyte by the normal spermatozoon? Select one: a. Klinfelter's syndrome b. Turner's syndrome c. Trisomy on the X-chromosome d. Down's syndrome e. Edward's syndromearrow_forwardMost sexual organisms are either male or female though some are hermaphroditic. In human beings and Drosophila (fruitfly), the sex of an individual is determined by the kind of sex chromosomes they possess. Males have two types of chromosomes, a big chromosome X and a small chromosome Y while females have only one kind, 2X or XX. The X and Y chromosomes segregate during the formation of mature spermatozoa (sprematogenesis) so that a mature sperm contains only either X or Y. What is the probability of getting an X-bearing sperm? A Y-bearing sperm? How many kinds of ova as to the kind of sex chromosome present can be produced? Determine the probability of getting a boy or girl. Show your calculations.arrow_forwardMost sexual organisms are either male or female though some are hermaphroditic.
