What is the term for the production of egg cells? A. Ovulation B. Oviduct C. Oocytes D. Oogenesis

Explanation / Answer

(1)C.Parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis is the reproduction without fertilization where an unfertilized egg develops into an embryo. Fragmentation is an asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments and the fragments develop into individuals. In Budding a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud.

(2)B. Spermatogenesis

(3)C.Acrosome

The acrosome of the sperm contains digestive enzymes

(4) A. Flagellum

(5)D. Epididymis

The epididymis is a tube located at the back of the testicles, it stores and carries sperm.

(6)A.FSH

follicle stimulating hormone acts on the Sertoli cells of the testes to stimulate sperm production (spermatogenesis).

(7)B. LH

LH (luteinizing hormone) stimulates the interstitial cells (Leydig) to secrete testosterone
