Secondary oocyte: The secondary oocyte is the cell that is formed by meiosis I in oogenesis. Thus, it has only one of each pair of homologous chromosomes

Topic in NCERT: GAMETOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "the secondary spermatocytes, which have only 23 chromosomes each."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 4

How are mature human sperm and ova similar?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Both Ovum and Sperm have haploid content 

Topic in NCERT: GAMETOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "The primary sex organs - the testis in the males and the ovaries in the females produce gametes, i.e, sperms and ovum, respectively, by the process called gametogenesis."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 5
Save

Spermatozoa are nourished during their development by

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Sertoli cells provide nutrition to the germ cells.

Topic in NCERT: Gametogenesis

Line in NCERT: "Sertoli cells provide nutrition to the germ cells."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 6

What is incorrect about male  gametes of human     

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Human sperm is haploid cell have flagellated tail like structure for movement.

Topic in NCERT: GAMETOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "Each spermatogonium is diploid and contains 46 chromosomes."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 7
Save

Which piece of a sperm is called power house

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The middle piece possesses numerous mitochondria, which produce energy for the movement of tail that facilitates sperm motility essential for fertilisation.

Topic in NCERT: sperm structure and function

Line in NCERT: "The middle piece possesses numerous mitochondria, which produce energy for the movement of tail that facilitate sperm motility essential for fertilisation."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 8
Save

The onset of spermatogenesis starts at _________

Detailed Solution: Question 8

  • Spermatogenesis is the process of the production of sperms from spermatogonia in the testis.
  • Puberty is the time of onset of this process.

Topic in NCERT: GAMETOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "The process of spermatogenesis that begins at puberty."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 9
Save

Release of sperm from testes is called

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Spermiation is the process by which mature spermatids are released from Sertoli cells into the seminiferous tubule lumen prior to their passage to the epididymis. It takes place over several days at the apical edge of the seminiferous epithelium, and involves several discrete steps including remodelling of the spermatid head and cytoplasm, removal of specialised adhesion structures and the final disengagement of the spermatid from the Sertoli cell.

Semination is the deposit of seminal fluid within the vagina or cervix. Insemination is the introduction of sperm into a female's reproductive system for the purpose of impregnating. Ejaculation is the expulsion of semen from the body.

Topic in NCERT: SPERMATOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis. After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells, and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 10
Save

The acrosome plays a role in

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Acrosome derived from Golgi body and have enzyme for sperm penetration.

Topic in NCERT: Fertilisation

Line in NCERT: "The secretions of the acrosome help the sperm enter into the cytoplasm of the ovum through the zona pellucida and the plasma."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 11
Save

Which types of division take place during second maturation division as per spermatogenesis

Detailed Solution: Question 11

The second maturation division (also known as Meiosis II) is an equational division, similar to mitosis. Here’s why:

  1. Meiosis I (First Maturation Division): Reductional division (diploid → haploid, homologous chromosomes separate).

  2. Meiosis II (Second Maturation Division): Equational division (sister chromatids separate, maintaining the haploid number).

Key Points:

  • Reduction division (a): Occurs in Meiosis I, not Meiosis II.

  • Amitosis (c): Direct cell division (e.g., in prokaryotes); irrelevant here.

  • None (d): Incorrect, as Meiosis II is a well-defined equational division.

Thus, the second maturation division is equational (b).

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 12

"Spermiogenesis" is a process in which

Detailed Solution: Question 12

The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis.

Topic in NCERT: SPERMATOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 13
Save

The correct sequence of spermatogenesis stages leading to the formation of sperms in a mature human testis is

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Some of the spermatogonia called primary spermatocytes periodically undergo meiosis. A primary spermatocyte completes the first meiotic division (reduction division) leading to formation of two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes, which have only 23 chromosomes each. The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid
spermatids 
 

Topic in NCERT: SPERMATOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "The spermatogonia (sing. spermatogonium) present on the inside wall of seminiferous tubules multiply by mitotic division and increase in numbers. Some of the spermatogonia called primary spermatocytes periodically undergo meiosis. A primary spermatocyte completes the first meiotic division (reduction division) leading to formation of two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes, which have only 23 chromosomes each. The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 14

Hormone release from anterior pituitary Like FSH and LH act on -

Detailed Solution: Question 14

LH acts at the Leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens. Androgens, in turn, stimulate the process of spermatogenesis. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells

Topic in NCERT: GAMETOGENESIS

Line in NCERT: "LH acts at the Leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors which help in the process of spermiogenesis."

Test: Spermatogenesis - Question 15
Save

Maturation of human sperms occur in:

Detailed Solution: Question 15

The maturation of human sperm occurs in the Epididymis. Option 2 is the correct answer. The epididymis is a coiled tube located at the back of each testicle, where sperm undergo the final stages of maturation, become more motile, and gain the ability to fertilize an egg.

Topic in NCERT: Functions of Male Accessory Ducts and Glands

Line in NCERT: "Secretions of epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle and prostate are essential for maturation and motility of sperms."
