3. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is (Standard 4.1e):

Explanation

FSH is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the growth of the follicle. The follicle is a structure in the ovary that contains an immature egg. FSH plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of the follicle, leading to the release of a mature egg during ovulation. This hormone is essential for the female reproductive system and is responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and promoting fertility.

4. After sperm is deposited inside a female, the pathway they follow to reach the egg is (Standard 4.1f):

5. Which reproductive adaptation is characteristic of most terrestrial vertebrates but not of most aquatic vertebrates (Standard 4.1 a)?

Explanation

Internal fertilization is the correct answer because it is a reproductive adaptation that is characteristic of most terrestrial vertebrates. Internal fertilization refers to the process of fertilization occurring inside the female's body, where the sperm is deposited directly into the female reproductive tract. This adaptation is necessary for terrestrial vertebrates because it protects the gametes from drying out and increases the chances of successful fertilization in a dry environment. In contrast, most aquatic vertebrates practice external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into the water for fertilization to occur.

Submit
6. A human egg/sperm cell is _______________, but when the sperm and egg come together the fertilized egg (potential human) is ________________. (Standard 4.1c)?

Explanation

When a human egg or sperm cell is formed, it undergoes a process called meiosis which reduces the number of chromosomes in the cell by half. This results in the formation of haploid cells, which have only one set of chromosomes. However, when the sperm and egg come together during fertilization, they combine their genetic material and form a zygote. The zygote is diploid, meaning it has a complete set of chromosomes from both the sperm and egg, and has the potential to develop into a human being. Therefore, the correct answer is haploid, diploid.

Submit
7. What makes stem cells different from other cells in the body?

Explanation

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to develop into various types of cells in the body. Unlike other cells, which have a specific function and structure, stem cells can differentiate into specialized cells such as muscle cells, nerve cells, or blood cells, depending on the needs of the body. This characteristic of stem cells makes them crucial for growth, development, and repair of damaged tissues in the body. Stem cells are not limited to a specific type of tissue and can adapt and transform into different cell types as required.

Submit
8. What would most likely result if mitosis was not accompanied by cytoplasmic division (Standard 4.1b)

Explanation

If mitosis was not accompanied by cytoplasmic division, it would result in one cell with two identical nuclei. Mitosis is the process of cell division where the nucleus of a cell divides into two identical nuclei. However, cytoplasmic division is necessary for the physical separation of the two daughter cells. Without cytoplasmic division, the two nuclei would remain in the same cell, resulting in one cell with two identical nuclei.

Submit
9. Identical twins may develop as a result of fertilization of (Standard 4.1h):

Explanation

Identical twins develop as a result of fertilization of one egg by one sperm. In this process, a single fertilized egg, also known as a zygote, splits into two separate embryos, each with its own set of genetic material. This occurs early in the development of the zygote, resulting in two individuals who share the same genetic information and are therefore identical twins. The other options listed involve the fertilization of two eggs by one or two sperms, which would result in fraternal twins or siblings with different genetic material.

Submit
10. The diagrams below represent various processes associated with reproduction.  Asexual reproduction is represented by (Standard 2.1d):

Explanation

The correct answer is A and C. This is because in diagram A, a single parent organism is shown producing offspring through a process called binary fission, which is a common form of asexual reproduction. In diagram C, a parent organism is shown producing offspring through a process called budding, which is another form of asexual reproduction. Both of these diagrams represent processes associated with asexual reproduction, so the correct answer is A and C.

Submit
11. In humans, what is the ratio of the number of gametes produced from one male primary sex cell to the number of gametes produced from one female primary sex cell (Standard 4.1g)?

Explanation

The ratio of 4:1 suggests that one male primary sex cell produces four gametes, while one female primary sex cell produces only one gamete. This is because during meiosis, the male primary sex cell undergoes two rounds of cell division, resulting in the production of four haploid cells (sperm). In contrast, the female primary sex cell only undergoes one round of cell division, resulting in the production of one haploid cell (egg). Therefore, the ratio of 4:1 accurately represents the difference in gamete production between males and females in humans.

Submit
12. Which process is represented below (Standard 4.1d)?

Explanation

The process represented in the diagram is differentiation. Differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized and take on specific functions in the body. It involves the activation and repression of specific genes, leading to the development of different cell types with distinct structures and functions. This process is important for the growth and development of multicellular organisms, as it allows for the formation of tissues and organs with specialized functions.
