The second maturation division of the mammalian ovum occurs

1. Shortly after ovulation before the ovum makes entry into the Fallopian tube
2. Until after the ovum has been penetrated by a sperm
3. Until the nucleus of the sperm has fused with that of the ovum
4. in the Graafian follicle following the first maturation division

Which one of the following statements about human sperm is correct?

1. Acrosome has a conical pointed structure used for piercing and penetrating the egg, resulting in fertilisation
2. The sperm lysins in the acrosome dissolve the egg envelope facilitating fertilisation
3. Acrosome serves as a sensory structure leading the sperm towards the ovum
4. Acrosome serves no particular function

Which one of the following statements about morula in humans is correct?

1. It has almost equal quantity of cytoplasm as an uncleaved zygote but much more DNA
2. It has far less cytoplasm as well as less DNA than in an uncleaved zygote
3. It has more or less equal quantity of cytoplasm and DNA as in uncleaved zygote
4. It has more cytoplasm and more DNA than an uncleaved zygote

The part of Fallopian tube closest to the ovary is

1. Isthmus
2. Infundibulum
3. Cervix
4. Ampulla

Seminal plasma in humans is rich in :

1. Fructose, calcium and certain enzymes
2. Fructose and certain enzymes but poor calcium

4. Fructose and calcium but has no enzyme

Which one of the following is the correct matching of the events occurring during menstrual cycle?

1. Ovulation: LH and FSH attain peak level and sharp fall in the secretion of progesterone
2. Menstruation: Breakdown of myometrium and ovum not fertilised
3. Secretory phase: Development of corpus luteum and increased secretion of progesterone
4. Proliferative phase: Rapid regeneration of myometrium and maturation of Graafian follicle
