HUMAN REPRODUCTION MCQs

Total Questions : 60 | Page 1 of 6 pages
Question 1.


Each testis is covered by a fibrous connective tissue covering called


  1.     Tunica albuginea
  2.     Rete testis
  3.     Stroma
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Tunica albuginea
:
A
The testes (testicles) are the male gonads, that is they are the primary male reproductive organs. The multilayered tunica covers the testes. It facilitates blood supply to the testes and creates a partition between sperm-producing regions of the testes. The tunica albuginea is the fibrous covering of the testes. It is a dense blue-grey membrane, composed of bundles of white fibrous connective tissue.
Question 2.


Which of the following helps in the movement of the ovum in the fallopian tube ?


  1.     Corona radiata
  2.     Granulosa cells
  3.     Ciliated epithelium in the fallopian tube
  4.     All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ciliated epithelium in the fallopian tube
:
C
Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue consists of a single layer of cuboidal cells on the basement membrane. At some places the cuboidal epithelium is ciliated, like in the fallopian tubes. The beating movement of the cila helps in moving the ovum from the fallopian tube down the reproductive tract.
Question 3.


Corpus luteum is responsible for production of


  1.     FSH
  2.     LH
  3.     Progesterone
  4.     Lactogenic principle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Progesterone
:
C
The major events in menstrual cycle include menstruation, the follicular phase and the luteal phase, after which the next cycle begins. Both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of the cycle (about the 14th day). Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle, called LH surge, induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation). The ovulation (ovulatory phase) is followed by the luteal phase during which the remaining parts of the Graafian follicle transform as the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes large amounts of progesterone which is essential for maintenance of the endometrium. Such an endometrium is necessary for implantation of the fertilised ovum and other events of pregnancy.
Question 4.


What is the connecting link between the uterus and the vagina?


  1.     Cervix        
  2.     Ampulla 
  3.     Infundibulum
  4.     Vulva
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cervix        
:
A

The uterus is also called the womb. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects the uterus to the vagina. The function of the cervix is to allow the flow of menstrual blood from the uterus into the vagina. It also aids in carrying sperm from the vagina to the uterus. It also widens during childbirth to allow the passage of the baby.   


Question 5.


Which of the following is not true?


  1.     Primary sexual characteristics are present from birth
  2.     Primary and secondary sexual characteristics differentiate humans into sexually dimorphic species
  3.     Secondary sexual characteristics are not directly related to production of gametes
  4.     Secondary sexual characteristics include the ovary and penis
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Secondary sexual characteristics include the ovary and penis
:
D

Primary sexual characteristics are present from birth and are directly concerned with reproduction and allow the differentiation of males and females. The ovary in females and penis in males are primary sexual characters. Secondary sexual characters appear during puberty due to the hormones released during this time. Primary and secondary sexual characteristics differentiate males and females in a sexually dimorphic species. Secondary sexual characteristics are not concerned with reproduction or production of gametes.


Question 6.


Endometriosis includes abnormal growth of endometrium in the


  1.     uterus
  2.     ovaries
  3.     fallopian tubes
  4.     All of the above.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above.
:
D
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus (endometrium) grows outside it. Most often this is on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissue around the uterus and ovaries; however, in rare cases, it may also occur in other parts of the body.
Question 7.


Which one of the following statements about morula in humans is correct?


  1.     It has almost equal quantity of cytoplasm as an uncleaved zygote but much more DNA
  2.     It has far less cytoplasm as well as less DNA than in an uncleaved zygote
  3.     It has more or less equal quantity of cytoplasm and DNA as in uncleaved zygote
  4.     It has more cytoplasm and more DNA than an uncleaved zygote
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> It has almost equal quantity of cytoplasm as an uncleaved zygote but much more DNA
:
A
A morula is an embryo at an early stage of embryonic development, consisting of cells (called blastomeres) in a solid ball contained within the zona pellucida. The morula is produced by embryonic cleavage, the rapid division of the zygote. The increase in the number of cells doesn't change the size of the original mass. The divisions are rapid because there is no net growth of the embryo. In the absence of growth, the cell number in the embryo increases while the cell size decreases. Thus, it has an almost equal quantity of cytoplasm as an uncleaved zygote but much more DNA.
Question 8.


The second maturation division of the mammalian ovum occurs


  1.     Shortly after ovulation before the ovum makes entry into the fallopian tube
  2.     After the ovum has been penetrated by a sperm
  3.     Until the nucleus of the sperm has fused with that of the ovum
  4.     In the Graafian follicle following the first maturation division
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> After the ovum has been penetrated by a sperm
:
B

In mammalian ovum, during maturation phase, meiosis occurs. Nucleus shifts towards animal pole and undergoes meiosis-I. After fertilization the second meiotic division is completed with unequal cytoplasmic cleavage. This forms a large cell called the ootid, with essentially whole of the cytoplasm and a very small cell, the second polar body.


Question 9.


In the given figure, identify the labelled parts and match them with their relative description.


In The Given Figure, Identify The Labelled Parts And Match T...


  1.     P - ii                   Q - iii                  R - v                 S - i
  2.     P - v                   Q - i                  R - iii                 S - ii
  3.     P - iv                   Q - iii                  R - ii                 S - i
  4.     P - ii                   Q - v                  R - iv                 S - i
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> P - iv                   Q - iii                  R - ii                 S - i
:
C

The sperm is divisible into 3 parts - the head, midpiece and tail. The head consists of acrosome which contains hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes, which help in penetrating the ovum during fertilisation. Along with the acrosome the head of the sperm also consists of a haploid nucleus and centrioles. The midpiece of the sperm has mitochondria which produce the energy necessary for sperm motility. The tail is mainly involved in providing motility to the spermatozoon, and propels it forward.


Question 10.


A cross section at the midpoint of the middle piece of human sperm will show 


  1.     centriole, mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
  2.     centriole and mitochondria
  3.     mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
  4.     9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
:
C

A sperm is a microscopic structure composed of a head, neck, a middle piece and a tail. A cross section at the midpoint of the middle piece of a sperm will show mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules. The middle piece possesses numerous mitochondria, which produce energy for the movement of the tail that facilitates sperm motility essential for fertilisation.
