    Study Notes

    MCQ 1

    • Capacitation is the term for biochemical changes in sperm that enable fertilization.

    MCQ 2

    • The acrosome in sperm releases enzymes to digest the zona pellucida during fertilization.

    MCQ 3

    • The cortical reaction in the egg prevents polyspermy (multiple sperm fertilizing one egg) after sperm fusion.

    MCQ 4

    • The two-cell stage is when the zygote first divides into two cells.

    MCQ 5

    • The morula is the solid ball of cells formed by the 16-cell stage of cleavage.

    MCQ 6

    • Spiral cleavage is characterized by cells arranged at an angle.

    MCQ 7

    • The trophoblast is the outer layer of cells in the blastocyst that contributes to the placenta.

    MCQ 8

    • The four-cell stage follows the eight-cell stage of cleavage.

    MCQ 9

    • The primary function of capacitation in sperm is to allow sperm to swim faster.

    MCQ 10

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 11

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 20

    • The prostate gland secretes seminal fluid to nourish sperm.

    MCQ 21

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 22

    • The acrosomal reaction is the first step in fertilization after sperm enters the female reproductive tract.

    MCQ 23

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 24

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 25

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 26

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 27

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization. The eight-cell stage is when compaction of the blastomeres occurs.

    MCQ 28

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization.

    MCQ 29

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization. The trophoblast is responsible for forming the placenta.

    MCQ 30

    • The blastocyst typically arrives in the uterus for implantation 5-6 days after fertilization. The decidua basalis is involved in the placental development. The primary functions are to anchor the embryo and facilitate placental development and protect the embryo from the immune system.
