_____ 1. The outer layer of the blastocyst that attaches to the wall of the uterus at implantation is called the
- a. amnion.
- b. yolk sac.
- c. cembryoblast.
- d. trophoblast.
Introduction:
Fertilization is defined as the process by which male and female gametes are the fuse to form a zygote and it is further developed into an embryo. The zygote form contains a diploid number of chromosomes.
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
Trophoblast is the outer layer of the blastocyst which is attached to the wall of the uterus at implantation. Therefore, option d. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Option d. is given as “trophoblast”. Trophoblast is an outer layer of cells that surrounds the fluid-filled cavity. These cells will form chorion. It plays an important role in implantation of the embryo and also in the formation of the placenta.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “amnion”. It is an extraembryonic membrane formed from epiblast layer. It is a thin membrane. Hence, option a. is incorrect
Option b. is given as “yolk sac”. It is the first extraembryonic membrane and is formed from hypoblast layer. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as “embryoblast”. It is the inner mass of the blastocyst. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.
Trophoblast is the outer layer of the blastocyst which is involved in embryo implantation.

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
