cytoplasm

36
Q

during spermiogenesis, golgi apparatus becomes the?

acrosome

37
Q

it becomes the spiral filament in the middle piece

A

mitochondria

38
Q

female gonads are known as the ______ and inside an important process known as oogenesis takes place

A

ovaries

39
Q

these are special stem cells found in the
female individual which eventually differentiate to form the female gametes or the
egg cells

A

oogonia

40
Q

hormone that initiates ovulation where the mature follicle ruptures releasing the secondary oocyte into the oviduct (fallopian tube)

A

luteinizing hormone

41
Q

Meiosis I begins shortly before birth but arrests at
prophase I where all primary oocytes stay dormant in the ovaries until it reaches?

A

puberty

42
Q

marks the beginning of the monthly
menstrual cycle in female individuals

A

puberty

43
Q

At sexual maturity, the primary oocytes complete the ______ to give rise to
secondary oocytes and the 1st polar body which later degenerate

A

1st meiotic division

44
Q

At ovulation, the nucleus of the secondary oocyte begins Meiosis II progressing only to
_________, then division arrests.

A

metaphase II

45
Q

Meiosis II only resumes when?

A

Q

zygote that will travel along
the fallopian tube and into the uterus and will implant itself into the

A

endometrium of uterus

47
Q

this hormone ensures that the endometrium is just the right layer and thickness for the
developing embryo

A

48
Q

union of a haploid female gamete (oocyte) with a haploid male gamete (spermatozoon) to form a diploid zygote

49
Q

Where does fertilization takes place?

A

50
Q

it cover the sperm and impede making contact with the oocyte takes place and these changes increases sperm motility
