Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 16CYR
Mark the following statements about oogenesis as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.
a. Oogenesis begins before a female is born and continues for the remainder of her life.
b. About once a month after puberty begins, some primary oocytes are stimulated to continue development. Usually one will complete the first meiotic division to produce two haploid cells that are the same size.
c. The fate of all polar bodies is the same; they all degenerate and are reabsorbed by the body.
d. Only if a secondary oocyte is fertilized will it complete the second meiotic division and expel the last polar body.

As hCG takes over maintaining the endometrium immediately after implantation, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albican. B. All 16 cells in a morula are truly totipotent, meaning that they can become any cells in the human body. C.

Segregation of neural ectodermal rudiment from the epidermal ectoderm. b. In primary neurulation, the neural plate thickens along its midline into a solid cord of cells that is displaced internally and cavitates to form a hollow tube. c.

Ectoderm forms the neural tube e. Mesoderm forms the reproductive organs f. Endoderm forms the gut g. All are true about neurulationarrow_forward
- Why is a second polar body expelled after fertilisation (select one) a. The oocyte must recativate the incomplete meiosis before fusing with the sperm b. To remove excess cytoplasm c. Before fusion with the sperm it must complete mitosis d. The fertilised oocyte is not a haploid cell until it expels the sperms mitochondriaarrow_forwardIn a possible future scenario, male fertility drops to zero, but, luckily, scientists develop a way for women to pro-duce babies by virgin birth. Meiocytes are converted di-rectly (without undergoing meiosis) into zygotes, which implant in the usual way. What would be the short- andlong-term effects in such a society?arrow_forwardOogenesis is the process of female gamete (ovum or egg) production in animals. Spermatogenesis is the process of male gamete (sperm) production in animals. Although both processes produce gamete(s), there are distinct similarities and differences between the two. Compare and contrast oogenesis to spermatogenesis by drawing a diagram showing the two processes. In your hand-drawn diagrams, be sure to include when the processes of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II are occurring identify each germ cell structure and its ploidy highlight 4 differences between the two processesarrow_forward

Discuss the process of fertilization or conception, with emphasis on the sperm-egg interaction. Proteins on the sperm plasma membrane bind to ZP3 molecules within the zona pellucida of the egg. Why is this event important? Zona binding triggers the acrosome reaction, in which the sperm plasma membrane fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane, causing exocytosis of acrosomal contents. What is in the "acrosomal content"? Acrosomal enzymes begin to dissolve a hole in the zona pellucida. This enzymatic degradation, accompanied by rapid sperm tail beating, moves the sperm through the zona. Where does the sperm intend to reach?arrow_forwardGametogenesis in mammals is a complex process.
