(A) unequal cells a smaller haploid secondary oocyte and a larger diploid polar body.
(B) unequal cells a larger haploid secondary oocyte and a smaller haploid polar body.
(C) unequal cells a smaller diploid secondary oocyte and a larger haploid polar body.
(D) equal cells a haploid secondary oocyte and a haploid polar body.
Solution
NCRT Volume XII: Page No: 48, 49
The division of the primary oocyte results in unequal cells: a larger haploid secondary oocyte and a
smaller haploid polar body.
06. Read the following statement with two blanks (A and B).
___(A)___ acts on ___(B)___ cell and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens.
The one correct option for the two blanks is
(A) A–LH, B–Sertoli (B) A–LH, B–Leydig
(C) A–FSH, B–Leydig (D) A–FSH, B–Sertoli
Solution
GnRH of the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary to secrete gonadotropins, LH and FSH. LH
influences Leydig cells to secrete androgens. FSH influences Sertoli cells to secrete factors required
for spermiogenesis.
07. Select the incorrect one from the following statements related to human reproduction.
(A) Spermiogenesis is the process by which spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa.
(B) Spermiation is the release of spermatozoa into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules.
(C) Oogenesis is initiated during the embryonic development stage.
(D) Ovulation is the release of the ovum from the ovary following the completion of
oogenesis.
Solution
Oogenesis does not complete prior to ovulation. The process of oogenesis stops at metaphase II
before ovulation. The secondary oocyte is released during ovulation. Completion of the second
meiotic division (and thus the complete oogenesis) only occurs if fertilisation takes place. If
fertilisation does not occur, the secondary oocyte degenerates.
08. What is the usual number of eggs released in the cases of identical twins and fraternal
twins?
(A) 1 egg for both identical and fraternal twins
(B) 2 eggs for both identical and fraternal twins
(C) 1 egg for identical twins, 2 eggs for fraternal twins
(D) 2 eggs for identical twins, 1 egg for fraternal twins
Solution
In a normal menstrual cycle, a single ovary releases one ovum (at the secondary oocyte stage) per
month during ovulation.
If a mother gives birth to identical twins, this occurs because the single fertilised egg splits into two
embryos. Hence, only one ovum is sufficient. For fraternal twins, two separate ova are released and
fertilised by two separate sperm. Hence, two ova must be released.
09. Which of the following haploid stage of oogenesis can be possible in a female only after
entry of sperm into ovum ?
(A) Primary oocyte (B) First polar body
(C) Secondary oocyte (D) Second polar body

Haploid ovum and second polar body are formed after the second meiotic division after the entry of
sperm into the ovum at the time of fertilization.
10. How many eggs do you think were released by the ovary of a female dog which gave birth to
6 puppies?
(A) 6 (B) 4 (C) 2 (D) 1
Solution
If a female dog gave birth to 6 puppies, its ovary would have released 6 eggs.
11. In women, the first and second meiotic divisions occur in which of the following structures
respectively?
(A) Ovary and uterus (B) Ovary and vagina

36. Identify the correct statements from the following:
Statement 1: The vas deferens is responsible for the production of sperm in the male
reproductive system.
Statement 2: The ejaculatory ducts are part of the male accessory ducts.
Statement 3: The epididymis serves as a storage and maturation site for sperm.
(A) Statement 1 and 2 (B) Statement 2 and 3
(C) Statement 1, 2 and 3 (D) Statement 2 only
Solution
The correct statements are:
Statement 2: The ejaculatory ducts are part of the male accessory ducts. Statement 3: The
epididymis serves as a storage and maturation site for sperm.
Statement 1 is incorrect. The vas deferens is responsible for transporting sperm from the epididymis
to the urethra, but it is not involved in the production of sperm. Sperm production occurs in the
testes.
Hence, statement 2 and 3 are correct.
37. A male patient presents with symptoms of difficulty ejaculating and a reduced volume of
semen. It is due to an obstruction in the ejaculatory ducts.
Which of the following structures might be responsible for this obstruction?
(A) Prostate gland (B) Bulbourethral gland
(C) Seminal vesicles (D) Vas deferens
Solution
The obstruction in the ejaculatory ducts is likely caused by an issue with the prostate gland.

The ejaculatory ducts pass through the prostate gland, and any obstruction or blockage in this gland
can result in difficulty ejaculating and reduced semen volume.

vessels, and nerves, become obstructed or compressed?
(A) Femoral hernia (B) Direct inguinal hernia
(C) Indirect inguinal hernia (D) Umbilical hernia
Solution
In an indirect inguinal hernia, the spermatic cord, which includes the vas deferens, blood vessels,
and nerves, may be obstructed or compressed.

In this condition, a part of the intestine protrudes through the deep inguinal ring, entering the
inguinal canal and potentially pushing against the structures within the spermatic cord.
This can lead to complications such as pain, swelling, and potentially affecting the function of the vas
deferens or sperm ducts.
39. Germinal epithelium of seminiferous tubules consists of
(A) sertoli cells, Leyding cells
(B) Spermatogonial mother cells and sertoli cells
(C) Only leydig cells

making douching unnecessary and potentially disruptive to its natural balance.
50. Which of the following is not the function of the vagina?
(A) Serve as a birth canal (B) Passage for sperm
(C) Exit route for menstrual blood (D) Production of eggs
Solution
The primary function of the vagina is to serve as a birth canal during childbirth.

Menstrual Flow Exit: The vagina serves as an exit route for menstrual blood and tissue during the
menstrual cycle, allowing the shedding of the uterine lining.

Reception of Sperm: The vagina provides a passage for sperm to enter the female reproductive
system during sexual intercourse, facilitating the fertilization of an egg.
51. Which of the following is devoid of glands?
(A) Uterus (B) Oviduct (C) Vagina (D) Vulva
Solution
The uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ in the female reproductive system that is primarily
responsible for providing a supportive environment for the growing fetus. It becomes highly vascular
with a rich supply of blood during the ovulatory phase. However, it lacks glands.

The other parts of the female reproductive system, i.e. the oviducts, vagina, and vulva have glands
that serve different purposes. The oviducts have mucus glands that help transport the egg to the
uterus, the vagina has lubricating fluid glands, and the vulva has oil glands that keep the skin moist.

These glands play critical roles in the female reproductive system's health and function.

55. Given below are two statements. One is labelled Assertion (A) and the other is labelled
Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Descent of testes into the scrotum is considered to be a vital step in male
development.
Reason (R) : This step primarily helps in protecting the testis from mechanical shock
absorption.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
(A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(C) (A) is true but (R) is false.
(D) Both (A) and (R) are false.
Solution
Assertion (A) is true because the descent of the testes into the scrotum is crucial for the process of
spermatogenesis, as it provides a cooler environment for sperm production.

Reason (R) is false because the primary function of the scrotum is to regulate the temperature for
spermatogenesis by keeping the testes cooler than the body temperature. While the scrotum does
offer some protection, its main role is not mechanical shock absorption.

D. The seminal plasma is secreted by the seminal vesicles alone.
(A) A and C (B) B and D (C) C and D (D) C only
Solution
A is incorrect. The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid rich in fructose, not glucose, along with calcium
and certain enzymes. The
B is incorrect. The prostate gland is unpaired and contributes to the formation of seminal plasma.
C is correct. The bulbourethral glands secrete a clear, viscous fluid that lubricates the penis during
intercourse, and this fluid is part of the seminal plasma.
D is incorrect. Seminal plasma is not produced by the seminal vesicles alone. It is a combination of
secretions from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.
58. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as
Reason R:
Assertion (A): The testes of male humans are situated outside the abdominal cavity within

Reason (R): The scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes, i.e., lower
than the normal internal body temperature, which is necessary for spermatogenesis.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the
options given below:
(A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is correct but R is not correct
(D) Both A and R are false
Solution
Assertion (A) is true. The testes of male humans are situated outside the abdominal cavity within a
pouch called the scrotum.

testes i.e., lower than the normal internal body temperature, which is necessary for
spermatogenesis.
59. Consider the following statements with reference to female reproduction system.
Statement - 1 : The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity
sexual experience.
Statement - 2 : The sex of the foetus is determined by the father and not by the mother.
Choose the correct option from the following.
(A) Statement 1 is wrong and statement 2 is correct.
(B) Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is wrong.
 (C) Both the statement 1 and statement 2 are wrong.
(D) Both the statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.
Solution
Both the statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.
The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity sexual experience. It can
also be broken by a sudden fall or jolt, insertion of a vaginal tampon, active participation in some
sports like horseback riding, cycling, etc.
The sex of the fetus is determined by the father's sperm. While the mother’s egg always carries an X
chromosome, the father’s sperm can carry either an X or a Y chromosome. If an X-carrying sperm
fertilizes the egg, the baby will be female (XX); if a Y-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will
be male (XY).

males and ovum in females, transfer of sperms into the female genital tract (insemination) and
fusion of male and female gametes (fertilisation) leading to formation of zygote. This is followed by
formation and development of blastocyst and its attachment to the uterine wall (implantation),
embryonic development (gestation) and delivery of the baby (parturition).
