Question
CBSEENBI11003714

Capacitation refers to changes in the 

  • Sperm before fertilization

  • Ovum before fertilization

  • Ovum after fertilization

  • Sperm after fertilization

Solution

A.

Sperm before fertilization

Capacitation refers to activation of sperm cells before fertilisation. It involves reorganisation of molecules in the outer membrane of sperm head.
Capacitated sperm releases enzymes from their acrosomes to penetrate the cells and zona pellucida surrounding the egg.

Question
CBSEENBI12002153

Changes in GnRH pulse frequency in females is controlled by circulating levels of

  • estrogen and inhibin

  • progesterone only

  • progesterone and inhibin

  • estrogen and progesterone

Solution

D.

estrogen and progesterone

High levels of estrogen and progesterone give negative feedback to the hypothalamus for the release of GnRH. Thus, inhibiting the gonadotropin release. 

Question
CBSEENBI12002325

Cycas and Adiantum resemble each other in having 

  • seeds

  • motile sperms

  • cambium

  • vessels

Solution

B.

motile sperms

Multiciliated motile sperms are found in both Cycas (gymnosperm) and Adiantum or walking fern (pteridophyte). Seeds and cambium are present in Cycas (quite common in gymnosperm) but absent in pteridophytes. Vessels are absent in both.

Question
CBSEENBI12002192

Fertilisation in humans is practically feasible only if

  • the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary -isthmic junction of the fallopian tube

  • the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary -isthmic junction of the cervix

  • the sperm are transported into cervix within 48 hrs of releases of ovum in uterus

  • the sperms are transported into the vagina just after the release of the ovum in the fallopian tube

Solution

A.

the ovum and sperms are transported simultaneously to ampullary -isthmic junction of the fallopian tube

Fertilisation is possible only if the sperms and ovum are transported simultaneously at ampullary-isthmic junction of fallopian tube.
