1. A 25 years old female went for dilatation and curettage
(D&C) after accidental abortion of a 2-week embryo. Which
of the following is a true description of the aborted
conceptus?
a. Inner cell mass with outer cell layer
b. A blastocyst with a blastocoel
c. Yolk sac cavity dorsal to the germ disc
d. Trilaminar germ disc with an amniotic cavity dorsal to it
e. Bilaminar germ disc with a yolk sac ventral to it.
2. The process through which polyspermy is prevented is
called:
a. Capacitation
b. Acrosomal reaction
c. Cortical reaction
d. Segmentation
3. Which of the following is the right place for fertilization
(based on diagram labels)?
a. A
b. B
c. C (ampulla)
d. D
4. Which of the following statements relating to the male
reproductive system is correct:
a. A normal sperm account is about 10 million/ml of semen
b. The spermatogenesis takes place within the seminiferous
tubules of the testes and mainly stimulated by HCG and
testosterone.
, c. One of the main parts of the sperm is the midpiece, which
acts as enzymatic drill to penetrate the ovum.

b. Filaments
c. DNA
d. Glucose
e. Centrioles
9. The newly produced cell by mitosis and in comparison to
the original cell:
a. Has double the amount of DNA
b. Has half the amount of DNA
c. Is smaller in size
d. Is in the same stage of cell cycle
e. Has to go through a second division
