  1. Fertilization

  2. Coitus

  3. Egg formation

  4. Embryonic development

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tubectomy is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation, thereby no fertilization can takes place. It is considered the permanent method of birth control.

Arrange the following steps in proper order


a) Formation of zygote
b) Formation of embryo
c) Fusion of male and female gamete
d) Implantation of embryo into uterus

  2. a $\rightarrow$ b $\rightarrow$ c $\rightarrow$ d

  3. c $\rightarrow$ a $\rightarrow$ b $\rightarrow$ d

  4. d $\rightarrow$ c $\rightarrow$ b $\rightarrow$ a

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

1)fertilization starts with fusion of male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (zygote). 
2) this fusion results in the formation of zygote. 
3) Zygote divided repeatedly to give rise ball of cells that forms embryo.
4) after the formation of embryo is gets embedded in the wall of uterus where it further forms the foetus so the correct order is in above steps.

In chlorophyceae, sexual reproduction occurs by

  1. Isogamy and anisogamy

  2. Isogamy, anisogamy and oogamy

  3. Oogamy only

  4. Anisogamy and oogamy

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chlorophyceae is a class of algae that is also known as green algae commonly. Different members of this class reproduce differently.

They reproduce by fusion of similar gametes ( isogamy ), the fusion of dissimilar gametes ( anisogamy ) as well as the fusion between a small non-motile and a large non-motile gamete (Oogamy).
So, the correct answer is 'Isogamy, anisogamy, and oogamy'.

The phenomenon of fertilization was first perceived by

  1. Weismann

  2. Leeuwenhoek

  3. Robert Hooke

  4. Hertwig

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The phenomenon of fertilization was first perceived by the German biologist Oscar Hertwig in sea urchin eggs in 1876. Hertwig observed that the sperm nuclei and egg fused during fertilization resulting in the generation of new organism. Thus the correct answer is option D.

The common mode of sexual reproduction in Chlamydomonas is

  1. Isogamous

  2. Anisogamous

  3. Oogamous

  4. Hologamous

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chlamydomonas reproduces both asexually and sexually. 

Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospores while sexual reproduction can be isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous. 
Though, commonly fusion takes place between similar gametes hence reproduction takes place by isogamy.
So, the correct option is 'Isogamous'.

Fertilization is depicted by which of the following condition?

  1. n $\rightarrow$ 2n

  2. 2n $\rightarrow$ 3n

  3. 2n $\rightarrow$ 4n

  4. 4n $\rightarrow$ 8n

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fertilization is the process of fusion of male and female gametes. Gametes are haploid (n) in nature and the fusion of the two results in the diploid (2n) product called as zygote. Zygote is the universal diploid cell. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Oogamous sexual reproduction involves fusion of

  1. Motile and non-motile gametes

  2. Similar gametes

  3. Dissimilar motile gametes

  4. Dissimilar non-motile gametes

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oogamous reproduction involves fusion of one motile male gamete and another non-motile large sized female gametes. 

Fusion of similar gametes is known as isogamous reproduction. Fusion of dissimilar motile or non-motile gametes is known as anisogamous reproduction.
So, the correct option is 'Motile and non-motile gametes'.

In oogamy, fertilization occurs between

  1. Small non-motile female gamete and large motile male gamete.

  2. Large non-motile female gamete and small motile male gamete.

  3. A large non-motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete.

  4. A large motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oogamy is a form of sexual reproduction. It is a form of anisogamy (heterogamy) in which the female gamete is significantly larger than the male gamete and is non-motile.The male gametes are  smaller in size and motile 
So, the correct option is 'Large non-motile female gamete and small motile male gamete'.
