Question 2
1. In the female, progesterone Answer a. promotes continuing preparation of the endometrium for fertilization and implantation b. levels decrease if fertilization does not occur c. levels decrease late in cycle if fertilization does not occur leading to a lack of maintenaince of endometrium so that some of it sloughs off. d.

Question 5
1. In the female, follicle stimulating hormone Answer a. causes one primary oocyte per month (normally) to mature and complete meiosis I. b. produces a secondary oocyte that is surrounded by granulosa cells which transport amino acids, nucleotides, and other macromolecules into the secondary oocyte in preparation for embryogenesis. c.

Question 11
1. At fertilization Answer a. one sperm membrane fuses with the membrane of the ovum to allow sperm chromosome to enter the ovum b. changes in the membrane of the ovum occur so that only one sperm fuses with the ovum c. results in a diploid organism known as a zygote d. causes meiosis II of the ovum to be completed e.

Question 15
1. Spermatogenesis Answer a. requires mitosis of a stem cell to produce another stem cell and a cell which will give rise eventually to the spermatozoa b. requires meiosis to reduce the genome in the spermatocytes to the haploid number c. requires a maturation process to produce spermatozoa with tails and other cellular components d. All of the above e. A and B
