An oocyte is released from the ovary under the influence of LH
after completing meiosis and before polar bodies are released
after completing meiosis I and before release of polar bodies

after completing meiosis I and after release of polar bodies.

Graafian follicle develops under influence of FSH of anterior pituitary. Its follicular cells secrete estrogen. Rising level of estrogen decreases production of FSH, and stimulates secretion of LH. The two cause mature Graafian follicle to release the ovum.
The immediate cause of induction of ovulation in female is the large plasma surge of
progesterone
estradiol
LH
FSH
C.
LH
Ovulation takes place on 14th day of cycle, concentration of LH is highest on 14th day because it has to break the Graafian follicle so as to release the ovum later if the concentration of estrogen and progesterone decrease there is lose of internal lining of uterus and menstural bleeding start.
Which of the following is not a case of epimorphosis ?
Formation of sperms from small clumps of cells
Regeneration of tail in a lizard
Replacement of severed arm in starfish
Replacement of limb in salamander
A.
Formation of sperms from small clumps of cells
Epimorphosis is a form of development in segmented animals in which body segmentation is completed before hatching.
Formation of sperms from small clumps of cells can not be a case of epimorphosis.
The origin of kidney and ureter in Rana tigrina is :
all mesodermal
all endodermal
ectodermal and mesodermal
mesodermal and endodermal
A.
all mesodermal
Kidney and ureter in Rana tigrina is developed from mesodermal layer.
Embryonic cells differentiate at an early stage and form an outer layer of cells, the ectoderm and an inner layer the endoderm. At the later stage, the mesoderm is formed and these three germ layers give rise to all the tissues of the developing embryo.
Both corpus luteum and macula lutea are
found in human ovaries
a source of hormones
characterized by a yellow colour
contributory in maintaining pregnancy
C.
characterized by a yellow colour
Both corpus luteum and macula lutea are characterised by a yellow colour. After an egg is released from the ovary, the cells that line the ovarian follicle change shape and colour to become a corpus luteum (yellow body). Macula lutea is the yellowish spot present at the posterior pole of eye. Lutein, zeaxanthin, - carotene and - cryptoxanthin are responsible for its yellow colouration.
A cross section at the midpoint of the middle piece of a human sperm will show
centriole, mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
centriole and mitochondria
mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules only
A.
centriole, mitochondria and 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules
Sperm consists of head, neck, a middle piece and a tail.
When viewed under electron microscope, cross- section of a midpiece of sperm consists of-
(i) core of the flagellum is composed of an axoneme surrounded by 9 dense fibres.
(ii) axoneme consists of 2 singlet microtubules surrounded by 9 microtubule doublets.
(iii) mitochondria is well placed for providing the ATP required for flagellar movement.
Progesterone is secreted by
Corpus luteum
Utreus
Placenta
Graafian follicle
A.
Corpus luteum
Progesterone is a steroid hormone and main female sex hormone. It is secreted during the later half of the menstrual cycle in human females by temporary endocrine tissue, the corpus luteum. The luteinizing hormone (LH) of anterior pituitary brings about a rupture of the Graafian folllicle to release the ovum and changes the ruptured follicle into a yellow structure called corpus luteum, which secrets progesterone.
Which one of the following statements with regard to embryonic development in humans is correct?
Cleavage divisions bring about considerable increase in the mass of protoplasm
In the second cleavage division, one of the two blastomeres usually divides a little sooner than the second
With more cleavage divisions, the resultant blastomeres become larger and large
Cleavage division results in a hollow ball of cells called morula
D.
Cleavage division results in a hollow ball of cells called morula
During the embryonic development in humans, cleavage division results in a hollow ball of cells called morula. Solid mass of 32 cells formed from zygote after successive mitotic division (after 3rd division of cleavage) is called morula.
The phase of menstrual cycle in humans that last for 7 - 8 days, is:
follicular phase
ovulatory phase
luteal phase
menstruation
B.
ovulatory phase
The phase of menstrual cycle in humans that last for 7-8 days is ovulatory phase. During this phase, production of FSH decreases while that of LH increases which leads to ovulation on about the 14th day. But it may range from 9th to 16th day (approximately).
Follicular phase begins on the first day of menstruation and ends with ovulation.
Luteal phase is the second half of cycle. It lasts for about 14 days and ends just before a menstrual period.
Which of the following steroid sex hormone influenced secondary sex organs?
Progesterone
Oestrogen
LH
LTH
B.
Oestrogen
Oestrogen is a steroid hormone secreted by Graffian follicle. It is responsible for development of secondary sexual characters in female such as thin voice, complete development of ovary, oviduct, mammary gland, uterus and vagina. Therefore, it is a steroid sex hormone that influences secondary sex organs.
