PROCESS OF CONCEPTION AND
FETAL DEVELOPMENT (MCN) ACTUAL
EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS)
Mitosis -
correct answer ✅-Produces same exact copy of cells
-Results in the production of diploid body (somatic) cells, which are
exact copies of the original cell.
-Makes growth and development possible.
-In mature individuals it is the process by which our body cells
continue to divide and replace themselves.
Meiosis -
correct answer ✅-Produces new cells that when combined
produces an offspring -A process of cell division leading to the
development of eggs and sperm needed to produce a new
organism
-Results in a haploid number of chromosomes, containing 23
chromosomes each
-22 Autosomes & 1 Sex Chromosome
Gametogenesis -
correct answer ✅-Production of gametes, germ cells or sex cells
, PROCESS OF CONCEPTION AND
FETAL DEVELOPMENT (MCN) ACTUAL
EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS)
-The gametes must have a haploid (23) chromosomes so when the
female (egg/ovum) and male (sperm/spermatozoon) gametes unite
to form the zygote (fertilized ovum), the normal human diploid (46)
chromosomes is reestablished.
Sperm Transport -
correct answer ✅Deposit and Transport of the sperm to the site of
fertilization
Sperm -
correct answer ✅consists of a head, body (mid-section/ midpiece)
and a tail
Head -
correct answer ✅-smooth and oval shape
-the shape helps sperm to penetrate the cell
-the most important part of the cell given that it contains the
nucleus (genetic material with 23 chromosomes) required to form a
new organism

EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS)
Midpiece -
correct answer ✅-it is the central part of the sperm cell between
the head and the tail
-it makes up about 10 percent of the total sperm length
-it contains tightly packed mitochondria that provide the energy
requires for swimming
Tail -
correct answer ✅is a thin, elongated structure that makes up
about 80 percent of the entire length of the sperm
Egg Transport -
correct answer ✅Release of the egg (ovulation) and its transport
to the fallopian tube
3 - 4 days -
correct answer ✅Tubal transport of the egg usually takes
__________, whether or not fertilization occurs.
