In spermatogenesis, reduction division of chromosome occurs during conversion of
spermatogonia to primary spermatocytes
primary spermatocytes to secondary spermatocytes
secondary spermatocytes to spermatids
spermatids to sperms
B.
primary spermatocytes to secondary spermatocytes
Spermatogenesis is the formation and maturation of male gametes or spermatozoan. Sperms are produced in the seminiferous tubules of testes. Diploid spermatogonia present beneath 3 to 5 cells deep from outermost layer of seminiferous tubules, increase their number by ordinary mitotic divisions and each becomes a primary spermatogonial cell or primary spermatocyte. Each primary spermatocyte undergoes first, meiotic (reductional) division and forms two secondary spermatocytes. Each of these, without any intervention undergoes the second meiotic division and gives rise to two spermatids. Each spermatid undergoes the process of spermiogenesis to become a sperm.
Presence of which of the following hormone in the urine confirms pregnancy?
Progesterone
Oestrogen
Human chorionic gonadotropin
Prolactin
A pregnant female delivers a baby, who suffers from stunted growth, mental retardation low intelligence quotient and abnormal skin. This is the result of
deficiency of iodine in diet
low secretion of growth hormone
cancer of the thyroid gland
over secretion of pars distalis
What is the correct sequence of sperm formation?
Spermatid, Spermatocyte, Spermatogonia, Spermatozoa
Spermatogonia, Spermatocyte, Spermatozoa, Spermatid
Spermatogonia, Spermatozoa, Spermatocyte, Spermatid
Spermatogonia, Spermatocyte, Spermatid, Spermatozoa
Which one of the following is not the function of placenta? It
facilitates supply of oxygen and nutrients to embryo
secretes oestrogen
facilitates removal of carbon dioxide and waste material from embryo
secretes oxytocin during parturition
The correct sequence of embryonic development is
Blastula - Morula - Zygote - Gastrula - Embryo
Zygote - Blastula - Morula - Gastrula - Embryo
Zygote - Morula - Blastula - Gastrula - Embryo
Gastrula - Morula - Zygote - Blastula - Embryo
If spermatogenesis proceeds too rapidly, inhibin is released. Inhibin reduces the secretion of
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Testosterone
Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH)
