What events occur during the first week after fertilization?Use the terms zygote, morula, blastocyst, blastocele,totipotent, and pluripotent in your explanation.
Where (specifically) does fertilization take place in the body?
When the zygote divides, is it using meiosis or mitosis?
There are 6 major events in fertilization. Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction.
Proteins on the sperm plasma membrane bind to ZP3 molecules within the zona pellucida of the egg. Why is this event important?
Zona binding triggers the acrosome reaction, in which the sperm plasma membrane fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane, causing exocytosis of acrosomal contents. What is in the "acrosomal content"?
Acrosomal enzymes begin to dissolve a hole in the zona pellucida. This enzymatic degradation, accompanied by rapid sperm tail beating, moves the sperm through the zona. Where does the sperm intend to reach?

- Which of the following statements does NOT correctly describe the events following fertilization? Select one: a. Only the inner cell mass cells in a blastocyst are pluripotent. b. The trophoblast has an important role in maintaining the pregnancy, as it prevents the endometrium from shedding. c. As hCG takes over maintaining the endometrium immediately after implantation, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albican. d. All 16 cells in a morula are truly totipotent, meaning that they can become any cells in the human body.arrow_forwardWhy 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 mitochondriaarrow_forwardWhy is the fate of many cells determined during gastrulation? Are there many cytoplasmic determinants during this stage?arrow_forward
- If one follows 50 primary oocytes in an animal through theirvarious stages of oogenesis, how many secondary oocytes wouldbe formed? How many first polar bodies would be formed?

- In-vitro fertilization occurs in the laboratory. The resulting embryos remain in a laboratory culture for up to six days before being transferred to the potential mother. If fertilization had occurred naturally (i.e., inside the female reproductive system instead of in-vitro), where would the embryo be and what developmental processes would it be undergoing during those first six days of development?arrow_forwardIdentify the structures of an egg and a sperm that aredirectly involved in fertilization.arrow_forwardFertilization is the fusion of haploid gametes, ovum and spermatozoon, to form a diploid zygote.

- Describe the development of reproductive organs in a fetus of each gender. Which genes, gene products, and hormones are involved in the sex differences? Which sex- related hormones are circulating in high concentrations in a pregnant woman compared to a nonpregnant woman? Do these hormones cross the placenta (if you are uncertain, consider hormone chemical class relative to membrane permeability to make an educated guess)? Assuming these hormones do cross the placenta, how do they affect the hormonal environment inside the fetus, and how does this relate to fetal reproductive development?arrow_forwardSuppose that in the near future, you are a prenatal care provider. In the most recent ultrasound checkup on the expecting mother, you unfortunately found that the fetus is suffering a neural tube defect in the form of anencephaly. Seeing as the mother is still in the 12th week of pregnancy or the 1st trimester, the pregnancy can still be terminated via medical means. How would you explain to the parents the situation they are in?arrow_forwardExamine the attached fig, which shows oogenesis in animalcells. Will the genotype of the second polar body (derivedfrom meiosis II) always be identical to that of the ootid?Why or why not?arrow_forward
