Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Signals from the fully developed fetus and placenta ultimately lead to parturition which requires the release of:
aEstrogen from placenta
bOxytocin from foetal pituitary
cOxytocin from maternal pituitary
dRelaxin from placenta
✓ Correct answer: c) Oxytocin from maternal pituitary
ExplanationThe foetal ejection reflex, initiated by signals from the fully developed foetus and placenta, triggers the release of oxytocin from the maternal pituitary, which causes strong uterine contractions

PYQ

Arrange the following cell layers/structures around the female gamete, from outer to inner side :

A. Zona pellucida

B. Perivitelline space

C. Corona radiata

D. Plasma membrane of ovum

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

[NEET 2026]

a

C, A, D, B

b

C, A, B, D

c

D, B, A, C

d

A, C, B, D

✓ Correct answer: b)

C, A, B, D

Explanation
  • Around the human ovum, the layers are arranged in a specific order from outer to inner side.
  • The outermost layer is the corona radiata, followed by the zona pellucida. Inside this lies the perivitelline space, and the innermost boundary is the plasma membrane of the ovum.
  • Option B correctly represents the sequence: C → A → B → D
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: C, A, B, D.
Q3 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Consider the following:
A. The reductive division for the human female gametogenesis starts earlier than that of the male gametogenesis.
B. The gap between the first meiotic division and the second meiotic division is much shorter for males compared to females.
C. The first polar body is associated with the formation of the primary oocyte.
D. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) surge leads to disintegration of the endometrium and onset of menstrual bleeding.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

[NEET 2025]

a

B and D are true

b

B and C are true

c

A and B are true

d

A and C are true

✓ Correct answer: c)

A and B are true

Explanation
  • A. True — In females, meiosis begins during fetal development, long before birth. In contrast, spermatogenesis (male gametogenesis) starts at puberty.

  • B. True — In males, meiosis I and II occur continuously and rapidly during sperm formation. In females, the first meiotic division pauses at prophase I until puberty, and the second division occurs only after fertilization, causing a long gap.

  • C. False — The first polar body is formed after the primary oocyte completes meiosis I, not during its formation.

  • D. False — The LH surge triggers ovulation, not menstrual bleeding. Menstruation occurs if fertilization does not happen.

Thus, statements A and B are correct, so the answer is Option C.

Q4 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ

Arrange the following parts in human Mammary gland, traversing the route of milk ejection.
A. Mammary duct
B. Lactiferous duct

C Mammary alveolus
D. Ampulla
E. Mammary tubule

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

a

\(\mathrm{D}\to \mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{E}\to \mathrm{A}\to \mathrm{B}\)

b

\(\mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{E}\to \mathrm{B}\to \mathrm{A}\to \mathrm{D}\)

d

\(\mathrm{A}\to \mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{E}\to \mathrm{D}\to \mathrm{B}\)

✓ Correct answer: c)

\(\mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{E}\to \mathrm{A}\to \mathrm{D}\to \mathrm{B}\)

Explanation

The cells of alveoli secrete milk, which is stored in the cavities (lumens) of alveoli. The alveoli open into mammary tubules. The tubules of each lobe join to form a mammary duct. Several mammary ducts join to form a wider mammary ampulla which is connected to lactiferous duct through which milk is sucked out.
