Chapter 35, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The route of obtaining the atoms in pregnant mother and give it to infant.
Concept introduction:
The development of the zygote to embryo involves the addition of more cells to forms tissues and organs. The development can be defined as the process of transformation of the organism during the growth process. The zygote is very small, however, after cell divisions it develops into newborn infant of about

Which mechanism prevents an ovum from being fertilized by multiple sperm cells?
Select one:
a. When more than a single sperm cell fuses with the plasma membrane, multiple zygotes can form, leading to the conception of twins or triplets.
b. When a sperm fuses with the plasma membrane of the egg, depolarization of the membrane occurs.
c. Once a sperm penetrates the jelly-like coating of the egg, no other sperm cells can penetrate the coating.
d. The egg can only survive in the Fallopian tube for 24 hours as it does not have mitochondria to produce energy.
As a sperm cell finally approaches its final target, its acrosome becomes activated. The acrosome is a specialized organelle found in the cell’s head region and activation results in the exocytosis of several types of proteolytic enzymes.
Name 2 specific proteins you might expect the enzymes released by the acrosome to breakdown. What purpose does this play in the fertilization of the egg? Explain your reasoning.
What type of cell division will occur after fertilization to create a baby from the fertilized egg? What process will cause the cells from the egg to be specialized as different body parts?

Based on your understanding of the structures of the cytoskeleton, what is the best explanation? Tobacco interferes with the transfer of oxygen to the uterus, thereby forcing the zygote to implant in a fallopian tube. Tobacco smokers tend to get pregnant when they are younger. Tobacco interferes with the functioning of the flagella propelling sperm. Tobacco interferes with the sweeping motion of cilia that aids in the movement of the egg toward the uterus.arrow_forwardConsider a human zygote, how many cells will be formed before 16th round of cell division?arrow_forward
- Mitosis differs from meiosis in the following ways EXCEPT:(a) Mitosis results in a full complement of chromosomesin two cells, whereas meiosis results in four cells havinghalf the number of chromosomes.(b) In mitosis, all chromosomes are replicated, whereas inmeiosis, only half are replicated.(c) Mitosis only occurs in somatic or body cells, whereasmeiosis occurs in production of gametes or sex cells.(d) None of the above.(e) a and c onlyarrow_forwardYou have an embryo in the eight-cell stage that shows radial and indeterminate cleavage. What would happen if you separated the cells of this embryo and placed them each into tissue culture media? Each cell may continue development, but only into a nonviable embryo that lacks many parts. Each cell may develop into a full-sized, normal embryo. All eight cells would die immediately.

In this post you will demonstrate an understanding of how the process of mitosis leads to the growth of an organism and how cell differentiation results in the wide variety of specialized cells found in a multicellular organism. How does mitosis explain the process of growth? Can growth occur only through mitosis? If every cell in your body is a copy of that original fertilized egg, how is it that some cells are so different than other cells? How does differentiation help explain these different cell types?
