18 Questions
What is the final stage of spermatogenesis where immature male germ cells become mature sperm cells?
Spermiogenesis
How many mature sperm cells are produced from one spermatogonium at the end of spermatogenesis?
Four
What is the process of developing female gametes known as?
Oogenesis
Which stage of spermatogenesis involves the growth of spermatogonia and the development of primary spermatocytes?
Growth phase
Where do mature sperm cells undergo maturation in the male reproductive organs?
Epididymis
What is the process of developing gametes involving both mitosis and meiosis?
Gametogenesis
What is the final product of spermiogenesis?
A non-motile mature spermatozoon
What is the function of the acrosomal vesicle formed during the Golgi phase of spermatogenesis?
It contains crucial enzymes for fertilization
During which phase of oogenesis does the primary oocyte grow and get arrested in meiosis-I?
Pre-natal stage
What is the end result of oogenesis?
The production of a single mature egg cell
What is the process by which a spermatozoon becomes a motile sperm cell?
Spermiation
Where do spermatozoa become motile cells?
Epididymis
How do sperm cells cross the corona radiata?
Using their flagellum and the release of hyaluronidase enzyme
What is the first stage of human fertilization?
Penetration of the corona radiata
What happens to the sperm cell after penetrating the zona pellucida?
It releases hydrolytic enzymes to dissolve the zona pellucida
What is the result of the fusion between the male and female gametes?
Formation of a diploid zygote
What is the function of the acrosome reaction?
To release hydrolytic enzymes to dissolve the zona pellucida
What is the purpose of the zona pellucida?
To prevent multiple sperm cells from fertilizing the egg
