- DPerimordial cells
5The zygotic genome is
- Aany developmental genes present in the DNA of a zygote

6The Xenopus Oocyte has
- ADARK ANIMAL POLE (PIGMENT)
LIGHT VEGETAL POLE (Veg1 mRNA) - BDARK VEGETAL POLE (PIGMENT)
LIGHT ANIMAL POLE (VEG1 mRNA)
- ADARK ANIMAL POLE (PIGMENT)
7What enzyme helps sperm penetrate the cumulus layer around the oocyte?
- AHyaluronidase
- BAcrosomal Enzymes
- CLysozymes
- DFolic Acid
8The Zona Pellucida is penetrated via acrosomal enzymes.
- ATrue
- BFalse
9Where is SED1 protein added to the coat of the sperm?
- AEpididymus
- BVas Deferens
- CSemeniferous Tubules
- DLeydig cells
10SED1 triggers the acrosomal reaction when sperm come into contact with ZP2 receptors on the zona pellucida membrane
- ATrue
- BFalse
11What chains are broken in the zona pellucida so that sperm can penetrate to the cell membrane?
- AOligosaccharide
- BPolysaccharides
- CMonosaccharides
12What protein allows the sperm to penetrate the cell membrane of the egg?
- AIZUMO
- BPROZUMO
- CGAMETOZO
- DZYGOTO
13What are the two blocks to polyspermy seen in the sea urchin and some mammals?
- AInitial Rapid Reaction
- BThe cortical Reaction
- CThe rapid polyblock reaction
- DThe granule reaction
14The Sea urchin vitelline membrane is the equivalent of the cumulus layer of human egg cells.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15A
Cortical Granules diffuse with cell membrane of the egg cell.
The cortical contents released are entrapped between the cell membrane and the zona pellucida.
A thick impenetrable layer is formed.
Spare granule cells remain and form a HYALINE layer.
THIS IS PRECEDED BY A RAPID ELECTRICAL REACTION
B
Sperm fuses with the plasma membrane
Egg cortex granules secrete contents outside the cell.
This changes the composition of the zona pellucida.
This makes it impenetrable to sperm.
THERE IS NO RAPID REACTION.- AA= Sea Urchin/ Non Human mammals
B= Human - BA= Human
B= Sea Urchin/ Non Human mammals
- AA= Sea Urchin/ Non Human mammals
16Egg Cell activation is triggered by Fe++ release from the ER upon sperm entry
- ATrue
- BFalse
17After the egg has been activated, what secondary messenger leads to an increase in (*previous question) ion secretion that eventually leads to pro-nuclei fusion?
- AInosital-1,4,5 triphosphate
- BInosital- 1,3,4-triphosphate
- CInosital-4-5 triphosphate
- DTestosterone from the sperm cell cytoplasm.
18Holoblastic Cleavage-
- AWhen cells cleave equally without any significant growth phase
- BLarge yolk cell at vegetal pole and rapid cleavage at animal pole
- CMitosis without cytokinesis
19Holoblastic Cleavage-
- AWhen cells cleave equally without any significant growth phase
- BLarge yolk cell at vegetal pole and rapid cleavage at animal pole
- CMitosis without cytokinesis
20During meroblastic cleavage the YOLK sac is at the animal pole with fast dividing cells at the vegetal.
- ATrue
- BFalse
21Cytokinesis is not present during which cleavage?
- ASuperficial
- BMeroblastic
- CHoloblastic
22Syncytium Blastoderm are a feature of the early embryogenesis of drosphohila. There is..
- ANO G phase, only S and M (with cytokinesis)
- BG1 Phase, but not G2, twice the amount of S2 and M (without cytokinesis)
- CNO G phases, only S & M (without cytokinesis)
23The inner cavity of the drosophila blastoderm becomes fluid filled. This is called a..
- ABlastocoel
- BBlastodermal Pocket
- CBlastoplasmic Bucket
- DInner blastodermal fluid compartment
24The blastocoel only forms in the (X) region of the blastula. The (Y) region contains the YOLK.
- AX= Animal
Y= Vegetal - BX= Vegetal
Y= Animal - CX= Left
Y= Right
- AX= Animal
25Morphogenesis (Gastrulation & Neurulation) is where the embryo transitions from 2D-3D. This process is first indicated by a slit in the surface of the blastula called a
- ABLASTOPORE
- BBLASTOSLIT
- CBLASTOINVAGINATION
