1. (a) Sertoli cells are located in seminiferous tubules which nourish spermatozoa.
2. (a) Epididymis has three parts anterior caput, middle corpus and posterior cauda epididymis.
3. (a) Secretion of cowper’s gland acts as a lubricant for glans penis. It also neutralizes any urine in urethra.
4. (b) In the form of corpus luteum.
5. (a) Corpus luteum is yellowish body formed from ruptured Graafian follicle after ovulation in mammals secreting progestrone.
6. (a) Oviducts are independently developed mullerian ducts which develop alongside the kidney ducts.
7. (d) FSH, secreted by anterior lobe of pituitary, stimulates the secretion of oestrogen. LH, also secreted by anterior lobe, stimulates corpus luteum to secrete progesterone. Both these hormones control the menstrual cycle in humans.
8. (b) Colustrum is the first milk which secreted at the end of pregnaney.
9. (d) In animals, fertilization involves the fusion of spermatozoan.
10. (b) In mammals the covering around the egg is called corona radiata. It is formed of a single layer of follicular cells, cemented together by an adhesive substances the hyaluronic acid.
11. (d) Hyaluronidase, a lytic enzyme found in sperm, dissolves hyaluronic acid which forms cement substances between the cells of egg membrane, so facilitates sperm entry into the ovum.
12. (b) The yolk is distributed in the centre of the egg.
13. (d) The animal pole contains active cytoplasm and vegetal pole contains yolk. This creates polarity i.e. animal and vegetal pole.
14. (c) Nutritive fluid increases in blastocoel, morula enlarges and takes the form of a cyst and is now called blastocyst or blastodermic vesicle.
15. (a) The rate and nature of cleavage are much affected by factors like light, temperature, medium, amount of yolk, cytoplasmic organization, mitosis etc.
