  2. How is the placenta connefcted to the embryo?
  3. Placenta acts as an endocrine gland. Explain.

Answer:
1. Placenta develops after implantation. Finger-like projections (chorionic villi) appear on the tropho-blast which are surrounded by the uterine tissue and maternal blood. The chorionic villi and uterine tissue become interdigitated with each other and thus placenta is formed.

  1. Which are the main hormones produced by the ovary at the stages C & E?
  2. Which among the stages A to E would you expect is maintained by the ovary during pregnancy. Give reasons for your answer.
  3. Identify C.

Answer:

  1. The hormones produced are C – Estrogen E – Progesterone
  2. E is maintained (Corpus luteum)
    Corpus luteum is necessary to produce progesterone which maintains pregnancy.

Question 8.
FSH and LH are the hormones released by both female and males

  1. Which gland produce these hormones?
  2. Mention effects these hormones in the males and females?
  3. An ideal male contraceptive might be one that would suppress release of FSH but not of LH discuss. Why?

Answer:
1. Testis and Ovary.

2. FSH in female stimulates development of follicle, LH stimulates follicular development and development of corpus luteum. FSH in male stimulates sperm production, LH stimulates interstial cells to produce testosterone.

3. It suppress sperm production but not testosterone production, so male would be infertile but would still develop male secondary sexual characteristics.

Give reasons to the following.

  1. Newborn babies should strictly fed colostrum.
  2. Sex of the baby is determined by the father and not by the mother.
  3. Doctors inject oxytocin to induce delivery.

Answer:
1. Colostrum is the first milk, which contain several antibodies absolutely essential for developing resistance for new born babies.

2. Females produce gametes with X only. Males, on the other hand, produce sperms which carry 50 percent X and 50 percent Y chromosome. Thus zygote with XX becomes female and XY chromosome becomes male.

3. Oxytocin acts on uterine muscles and causes stronger contractions, which leads to the expulsion of baby through birth canal.

Question 10.

  2. What happens to the other three haploid cells?
  3. What is the significance of this type of meiotic division during oogenesis?

Answer:

  1. Haploid cells develop into ovum/ female gamete
  2. Other three haploid cells transform to polar bodies and degenerate.
  3. It helps for reducing chromosome number and also restricts the number of ovum.

Answer:

  1. The secretions of seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper’s glands.
  2. Spermatozoa
  3. About 70% of the seminal plasma is secreted by seminal vesicles. It is rich in fructose, citrate, prostaglandins and certain enzymes.

Male accessory ducts store and transport the sperms from testis to the outside through urethra. Male accessory glands secrete seminal Plasma, Which is rich in fructose, citrate, prostaglandins and certain enzymes. The secretion of Cowper’s glands lubricate the penis.

Question 3.
Write functions of the following:

  1. Corpus luteum
  2. Endometrium
  3. Acrosome

  5. Fimbriae

Answer:
1. Corpus Luteum. It secretes progesterone hor-mone which prepares the endometrium of uterus for implanation, placenation and normal development of foetus. So it maintains the pregnancy.

2. Endometrium. It is innermost, highly vascular and glandular lining of uterus. It undergoes cyclic changes during menstrual cycle and prepares itself for implanation of blastocyst and placentation.

3. Acrosome of head of sperm secretes sperm lysins like hyaluroindase (which dissolves hyaluronic acid of eff locally); corona pernetrating enzyme (which dissolves corona radiated) and acrosin (which dissolves zona pellucia).

4. Sperm tail. It shows lashing movements which provide forward push to the sperm.

5. Fimbriae are finger-like processes of fallopian tube which increase the chances of trapping of ovum released from the ovary.

Question 4.
What is oogenesis? Give a brief account of oogenesis.
Answer:
The process of formation of female gametes is called oogenesis.
Process:
During embryonic stage millions of gametes mother cells are formed (oogonia). This is covered by primary follicles. At the attainment of puberty, about 60,000 + 80,000 primary follicles are left in each overy.

Now it gets surrounded by secondary follicles. Then formation of tertiary follicle takes place. Tertiary follicle matures into Graaffian follicle – Tertiary Follicle ruptures to release secondary ooclyle by the process called ovulation.

Question 5.

  1. What is menstrual cycle?
  2. Which hormones regulate menstrual cycle?

Answer:
1. Menstrual Cycle. During the reproductive period of female primates, the ovaries produce ova at regular intervals of about 28/29 days and changes take place in the uterus in preparation for a possible pregnancy. This series of cyclic changes known as menstrual cycle. The most peculiarfeature of this cycle is the monthly vaginal bleeding called menses.

2. Hormonal control:

  • Anterior Pituitary
  • FSH
  • LH
  • Ovary
  • Estrogen
  • Progesterone

Question 6.
In our society, women are often blamed for giving birth to daughters. Can you explain why this is not correct?
Answer:
Male produces two types of gametes (Sperms), 50% of sperms carry X chromosome, while the other 50% carry Y chromosome, while female produces only one type of gametes (ova), each carrying X chromosome. after fusion of the male and female gametes, the zygote would carry either XX or XY depending on whether the sperm carrying X or Y fertilized the ovum.

The zygote carrying XX would develop into a female baby and XY would form a male baby. Thus, the sex of the baby is determined by the father and not by the mother.

Question 7.

  1. How many eggs are released by a human ovary in a month?
  2. How many eggs do you think would have been released if the mother gave birth to identical twins?
  3. Would your answer change if the twins? Would your answer change if the twins born were fraternal?

Answer:

  1. Only one egg is released by human ovaries in a month.
  2. Single egg was released in case of identical twins.
  3. In case of fraternal twins, two eggs are released and get fertilized.
