d. Graafian follicle
11. Assertion: In human beings, 23 pairs of chromosomes are present in diploid cells.
Reason: 22 pairs of chromosomes are equal in male and female but a pair of sex
chromosomes is different in them.
12. Ovulation in the human female normally takes place during the menstrual cycle:
(a) at the mind secretory phase
(b) just before the end of the secretory phase
(c) at the beginning of the proliferative phase
(d) at the end of the proliferative phase.
13.Which one of the following events is correctly matched with the time period in a normal
menstrual cycle?
(a) Release of egg: 5th day
(b) Endometrium regenerates: 5 – 10 days
(c) Endometrium secretes nutrients for implantation: 11 – 18 days
(d) Rise in progesterone level: 1 – 15 days
14. If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized, which one of the following is unlikely?
(a) Corpus luteum will disintegrate.
(b) Progesterone secretion rapidly declines.
(c) Estrogen secretion increases.
(d) Primary follicle starts developing.
15. In oocyte, secondary maturation occurs in:
(a) ovary
(b) abdominal cavity
(c) Fallopian tube
(d) uterus.
16.Preparation of sperm before penetration of ovum is:
(a) spermiation
(b) cortical reaction
(c) spermiogenesis
(d) capacitation
17. Mature Graafian follicle is generally present in the ovary of a healthy human female around :
(a) 5-8 day of menstrual cycle
(b) 11-17 day of menstrual cycle
(c) 18-23 day of menstrual cycle
(d) 24-28 day of menstrual cycle
18. Which one of the following is not a male accessory gland?
(a) Seminal vesicle
(b) Ampulla
(c) Prostate
(d) Bulbourethral gland
19. Which among the following has 23 chromosomes?

XII-BIOLOGY-Worksheet CH-3
 (a) Spermatogonia
(b) Zygote
(c) Secondary oocyte
(d) Oogonia
20. Morula is a developmental stage:
(a) between the zygote and blastocyst
(b) between the blastocyst and gastrula
(c) after the implantation
(d) between implantation and parturition
21. Assertion: The zygote developed from sexual reproduction is diploid.
Reason: In sexual reproduction, haploid gametes fuse and form zygote.
22. Assertion: Fertilization could be internal or external and it refers to the fusion of a male with
the female gamete.
Reason: It leads to embryogenesis.
23. Assertion: Size of morula is nearly same as the size of the zygote.
Reason: Zenu pellucida remains intact till cleavage is completed.
24. Assertion: Placenta is connected to the embryo through an umbilical cord which helps in the
transport of substance to and from the embryo.
Reason: Placenta does not act as an endocrine tissue.
25. At puberty, menstrual cycle starts in the females. Onset of menstruation for the first time is
known as menarche, cessation of it is referred to as the menopause. Menstrual cycle has three
phases- menstrual or the bleeding phase, follicular and the proliferative phase. The level of
hormones goes up and down in specific phase of the menstrual cycle. During pregnancy,
menstrual cycle is stopped. Attempt any four:
a. LH surge occurs during which phase of the menstrual cycle?
b. Corpus luteum is formed in which phase of the menstrual cycle?
c. Estrogen and progestrone drops during?
d. Ovulation occurs at which phase?
e. Graafian follicle is observed in which phase?
26. Figure A shows the front view of the human female reproductive system and Figure B shows
the development of a fertilized human egg cell

Figure A

Figure B.
