Chapter 46.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The steps that will be bypassed if a sperm nucleus is injected into an oocyte.
Concept introduction: Sperms are produced in the testes of males, and egg cells are produced in the ovary of females. In males, epididymis is a coiled tube that connects the testicle to vas deferens. Vas deferens is a muscular duct through which sperms are propelled out. The fusion of the sperm to egg cell completes the process of fertilization.

- WHAT IF? Why did the researchers split each female frog’s eggs into twobatches for fertilization by different males? Why didn’t they mate each femalewith a single male frog?arrow_forwardReproductive physiology (human) a) At the time of ovulation, the released ovum (egg) has completed both meiosis I and meiosis II. b) Because the corpus luteum (CL) is rescued from atresia by hCG early in pregnancy, the CL continues to produce progesterone throughout the 9 months of a normal pregnancy. c) Late in the follicular phase, estrogen participates in a positive feedback loop that leads to a surge in luteinizing hormone and ovulation. d) Both (a) and (b) are correct and (c) is incorrect e) Statements (a), (b) and (c) are all correctarrow_forwardThere 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?arrow_forward

[Discuss the life style of the developing sea urchin embryo in the water column compared to a very different ecological niche of the adults on the ocean floor. Besides, would you want to give live birth to a sea urchin! ouch!] 2: Then why don't the parents take care of the young? [In fact the adults do in a way. After the embryo has grown large enough and metamorphosed into a young urchin they hide in the spines of the adults, living off of the scraps of food produced from the messy eating of the adults] 3: Because the urchin life involves two or more ecological niches, they are more susceptible to predation and exposure to environmental toxins. What environmental conditions, predators and toxins might they be exposed to at each stage?arrow_forward
- 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 developmentarrow_forward# Question_qq1.

What transcription factors are there? What tissues/tissue types are there? What are the signaling pathways used and how do each function? What's the end goal, and what is the response in development? Draw a labeled diagram or detailed flow chart of neurulation in embryos to show this.(FYI, this is one practice question. No grading involved.)arrow_forwardSpermatogenesis 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 abovearrow_forward
