- 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.arrow_forwardOne day while walking across campus, you see a female butterfly laying fertilized eggs, as shown in the image below: 1. When the female butterfly’s eggs are fertilized, the fusion (2N) nucleus will divide repeatedly giving rise to cleavage nuclei, which: a. can become trophocytes that migrate into the germarium and connect to the developing embryo by nutritive cords. b. can migrate to the periplasm and become cleavage cells that ultimately give rise to the germ band and the serosa. c. can migrate to the peripheral cytoplasm and become germ cells, which eventually move into the forming gonads and become oogonia or spermatogonia. d. can remain in the yolk and become vitellophages that digest the yolk and make nutrients available to the forming embryo. e. only b and c f. only a and d g. all except a h. all except d 2.

None of the abovearrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true about neurulation? Choose all possible answers. a. 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.
