    FERTILIZATION NORMALLY OCCURS WITHIN WHICH STRUCTURE

    • OVARY

    • FALLOPIAN TUBES

    • OVARIAN LIGAMENT

    • VAGINA

    Correct Answer
    A. FALLOPIAN TUBES
    Explanation
    Fertilization normally occurs within the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are responsible for transporting the egg from the ovary to the uterus. During ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary and enters the fallopian tube. If sperm is present in the fallopian tube, it can fertilize the egg, resulting in pregnancy. The fallopian tubes provide the ideal environment for fertilization to occur, with their ciliated lining and muscular contractions helping to move the egg and sperm towards each other. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo will continue its journey towards the uterus for implantation.

    THE FUSION OF THE SECONDARY OOCYTE AND THE SPERM RESULTS IN WHICH DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE

    • FEMALE PRONUCLEUS

    • MALE PRONUCLEUS

    • ZYGOTE

    • MORULA

    Correct Answer
    A. ZYGOTE
    Explanation
    The fusion of the secondary oocyte and the sperm results in the formation of a zygote. The zygote is the initial stage of development after fertilization, where the genetic material from both the mother (contained in the female pronucleus) and the father (contained in the male pronucleus) combine to form a single cell with a complete set of chromosomes. The zygote will then undergo further cell divisions and development to form an embryo.

    THIS WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE FOR EXCHANGE OF MATERIAL BETWEEN THE MOTHER AND THE FETUS

    • CHORIONIC VILLI OF THE PLACENTA

    • AMNION

    • AMNIONIC FLUID

    • ENDODERM

    Correct Answer
    A. CHORIONIC VILLI OF THE PLACENTA
    Explanation
    The chorionic villi of the placenta serve as the primary structure for the exchange of material between the mother and the fetus. These finger-like projections extend from the chorion (part of the fetal membrane) into the uterine wall, allowing for the transfer of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the maternal and fetal bloodstreams. This exchange is essential for the development and nourishment of the fetus throughout pregnancy. The chorionic villi increase the surface area available for this exchange, facilitating the efficient transfer of substances between the mother and the developing fetus.

    THIS IS THE PART OF THE BLASTOCYTE THAT PROMOTES IMPLANTATION AND PRODUCES hCG

    • BLASTOCYTE

    • BLASTOSPHERE

    • TROPHOBLAST

    • BLASTOCYST CAVITY

    Correct Answer
    A. TROPHOBLAST
    Explanation
    The trophoblast is the part of the blastocyst that promotes implantation and produces hCG. Implantation is the process by which the blastocyst attaches to the uterine wall, allowing for the development of the embryo. The trophoblast plays a crucial role in this process by secreting enzymes that allow it to penetrate the uterine lining. Additionally, the trophoblast is responsible for producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is a hormone that helps to maintain pregnancy. Therefore, the trophoblast is the correct answer as it fulfills both criteria mentioned in the question.

    IF A CHILD HAS B BLOOD, AND THE MOTHER HAS B BLOOD, WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE GENOTYPE OF THE FATHER 

    • B

    • O

    • AB

    • B, O OR AB

    Correct Answer
    A. B, O OR AB
    Explanation
    If a child has B blood and the mother has B blood, the possible genotypes of the father could be B, O, or AB. This is because the child can only inherit the B blood type from either the mother or the father. The father could have the B blood type (genotype BB), the O blood type (genotype OO), or the AB blood type (genotype AB).

    THIS IS THE TIME FROM THE ONSET OF LABOR TO THE COMPLETE DILATION OF THE CERVIX

    • STAGE OF DILATION

    • STAGE OF EXPULSION

    • PLACENTAL STAGE

    • GESTATION

    Correct Answer
    A. STAGE OF DILATION
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "STAGE OF DILATION". This refers to the time from the onset of labor to the complete dilation of the cervix. During this stage, the cervix gradually opens up or dilates to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. It is an important stage in the process of childbirth and marks the beginning of active labor.

    THIS IS A PERMANENT CHANGE IN AN ALLELE

    • MUTATION

    • PHENOTYPE

    • GENOTYPE

    • DOMINANT

    Correct Answer
    A. MUTATION
    Explanation
    A mutation refers to a permanent change in an allele, which can occur due to various factors such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to mutagens. This change can alter the genetic code, leading to a different sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. As a result, the mutation can cause changes in the phenotype (observable characteristics) of an organism. Therefore, the given correct answer is "MUTATION".

    THIS DEVELOPS FROM THE EPIBLAST AND CARRIES A PROTECTIVE FLUID

    • CYTOTROPHOBLAST

    • YOLK SAC

    • EXOCOELOMIC MEMBRANE

    • AMNION

    Correct Answer
    A. AMNION
    Explanation
    The correct answer is AMNION. The amnion is a membrane that develops from the epiblast and surrounds the embryo, forming a protective fluid-filled sac called the amniotic sac. This sac provides a cushioning effect and helps to protect the developing embryo from mechanical shocks, temperature fluctuations, and infections. It also allows for the free movement of the embryo, facilitating proper development.

    IF ONE PARENT HAS TYPE A BLOOD AND ONE PARENT HAS TYPE B BLOOD, WHAT BLOOD TYPE IS POSSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILD

    • AB

    • A

    • B

    • O

    • ALL OF THE ABOVE

    Correct Answer
    A. ALL OF THE ABOVE
    Explanation
    If one parent has type A blood and the other parent has type B blood, their child can have any blood type - AB, A, B, or O. This is because when it comes to blood type inheritance, both type A and type B are dominant over type O. Therefore, the child can inherit either type A or type B from one parent, or both types from each parent, resulting in blood types AB, A, B, or O.

    Who discovered Barr body?

    • Ewart George Bertram

    • Murray Llewellyn Barr

    • Canadian physician

    Correct Answer
    A. Murray Llewellyn Barr
    Explanation
    Murray Llewellyn Barr is credited with the discovery of the Barr body. This is a condensed, inactive X chromosome that is present in the cells of females. Barr's discovery of the Barr body in 1949 was significant in the field of genetics as it provided evidence for X-chromosome inactivation in female mammals. This phenomenon ensures that females do not have double the dosage of X-linked genes compared to males. Barr's discovery laid the foundation for further research on X-chromosome inactivation and its role in genetic expression.

    LABOR CAN NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL ALL OF THIS HORMONE'S EFFECTS ARE DIMINISHED

    • ESTROGEN

    • PROGESTERONE

    • TESTOSTERONE

    • RELAXIN

    Correct Answer
    A. PROGESTERONE
    Explanation
    Progesterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining pregnancy. It helps to thicken the lining of the uterus, making it ready for implantation of a fertilized egg. If progesterone levels are high, it inhibits the contraction of the uterine muscles, preventing labor from occurring. Therefore, labor cannot take place until all of progesterone's effects are diminished.

    WHAT DOES DIAGRAM A REP?

    • CLEAVAGE OF EMBRYO

    • CLEAVAGE OF ZYGOTE

    • CLEAVAGE OF MORULA

    • CLEAVAGE OF FETUS

    Correct Answer
    A. CLEAVAGE OF ZYGOTE
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "CLEAVAGE OF ZYGOTE". Cleavage refers to the process of cell division in the early stages of embryonic development. The zygote is the fertilized egg formed by the fusion of sperm and egg, and cleavage of the zygote refers to the division of cells that occurs after fertilization. This division leads to the formation of a solid ball of cells called a morula, which eventually develops into an embryo. Therefore, the correct answer is the cleavage of the zygote.

    AN EXAMPLE OF INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE IS

    • ABO BLOOD GROUPS

    • SICKLE CELL DISEASE

    • ANGELMAN SYNDROME

    • PKU

    Correct Answer
    A. SICKLE CELL DISEASE
    Explanation
    Sickle cell disease is an example of incomplete dominance because it occurs when an individual inherits one normal hemoglobin gene and one sickle hemoglobin gene. Incomplete dominance is a genetic inheritance pattern where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a phenotype that is a blend of both alleles. In the case of sickle cell disease, individuals with two normal hemoglobin genes have normal red blood cells, while individuals with two sickle hemoglobin genes have sickle-shaped red blood cells. However, individuals with one normal and one sickle hemoglobin gene have some sickle-shaped red blood cells, but not enough to cause the full symptoms of the disease.

    THIS IS A SERIES OF FUNCTIONAL CHANGES THAT SPERM GO THROUGH WHEN THEY ARE IN THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT

    • ACROSOMAL REACTION

    • MATURATION

    • FERTILIZATION

    • CAPACITATION

    Correct Answer
    A. CAPACITATION
    Explanation
    Capacitation is the correct answer because it is a series of functional changes that sperm go through when they are in the female reproductive tract. During capacitation, the sperm undergoes changes in its membrane and acrosome, which enable it to penetrate and fertilize the egg. This process prepares the sperm for fertilization by enhancing its motility and allowing it to recognize and bind to the egg. Therefore, capacitation is an essential step in the reproductive process.

    THIS ECAM IS PERFORMED BW 14-16 WEEKS GESTATION AND IS USED TO DETECT GENETIC ABNORMALITIES 

    • SONOGRAM

    • AMNIOCENTESIS

    • CVS

    • AFP TEST

    Correct Answer
    A. AMNIOCENTESIS
    Explanation
    Amniocentesis is a prenatal test that is typically performed between 14-16 weeks of gestation. It involves the removal of a small amount of amniotic fluid from the sac surrounding the fetus. This fluid contains fetal cells that can be analyzed for genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and spina bifida. Amniocentesis is considered a more invasive procedure compared to other prenatal tests like sonogram, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and AFP test, but it provides more accurate and detailed information about the genetic health of the fetus.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    INVOLUTION IS 

    • WHEN THE PLACENTA IS EXPELLED

    • WHEN THE UMBILICAL CORD IS CUT

    • WHEN THE UTERUS DECREASES IN SIZE

    • WHEN THE CERVIX DILATES

    Correct Answer
    A. WHEN THE UTERUS DECREASES IN SIZE
    Explanation
    Involution is the process by which the uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy size and shape after childbirth. During pregnancy, the uterus expands to accommodate the growing fetus, and after delivery, it gradually contracts and decreases in size. This process is essential for the uterus to heal and resume its normal functions. The expulsion of the placenta, cutting of the umbilical cord, and dilation of the cervix are all separate processes that occur during childbirth but are not directly related to involution.

    • DECIDUA CAPSULARIS

    • DECIDUA PARIETALIS

    • LAMINA PROPRIA

    Correct Answer
    A. DECIDUA BASALIS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is DECIDUA BASALIS. The decidua basalis is the portion of the endometrium that lies between the embryo and the stratum basalis. It is the layer of the endometrium that undergoes changes during pregnancy to support the implantation and development of the embryo. It is responsible for forming the maternal part of the placenta and providing nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus.

    • ANTERIOSUM

    • PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

    Correct Answer
    A. DUCTUS VENOSUS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is DUCTUS VENOSUS. In infants, the ductus venosus is a blood vessel that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. This allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver and be delivered directly to the heart. After birth, the ductus venosus typically closes and becomes a ligament.

    DURING PREGNANCY, STROKE VOLUME CAN INCREASE BY

    • 10%

    • 20%

    • 30%

    • 40%

    Correct Answer
    A. 30%
    Explanation
    During pregnancy, the body undergoes various physiological changes to support the growing fetus. One of these changes is an increase in blood volume. This increase in blood volume leads to an increase in stroke volume, which is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction. The correct answer, 30%, suggests that during pregnancy, the stroke volume can increase by 30% compared to the non-pregnant state. This increase in stroke volume helps meet the increased demands of the mother and the developing fetus for oxygen and nutrients.

    • CHORION

    • PLACENTA

    • UTERUS

    Correct Answer
    A. CHORION
    Explanation
    The correct answer is CHORION. The chorion is a membrane that surrounds the fetus and forms the outer layer of the placenta. CVS (chorionic villus sampling) is a prenatal test that involves taking a small sample of cells from the chorion to test for genetic abnormalities or other conditions. The cells are collected through a needle inserted into the uterus, usually guided by ultrasound. This procedure is typically done between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy.
