Nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans)

38
Q

Characteristics of the big six model organisms

A

• Availability and cost

• Access and micromanipulation

• They have special properties that allow their mechanisms of development to be easily observed

• Can be easily manipulated physically or genetically

• Have relatively fast development period

• Genomes have been mapped

39
Q

It is the visible specialization of the cytoplasm

A

Germplasm

40
Q

It is present in the egg that program cells that inherit to become germ cells

A

Cytoplasmic determinant

41
Q

Is the production of mature sperm cells

A

Spermatogenesis

42
Q

It undergoes rapid mitosis to produce more stem cells before puberty

A

Spermatogonia

43
Q

Hormone that modifies spermatogonia division

A

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

44
Q

How many spermatids does one primary spermatocyte produces

A

Four

45
Q

How many days does spermatogenesis takes place

A

46
Q

It is the process of development of mature ova

A

Oogenesis

47
Q

What is the difference between the female and male gametes regarding their cell size and structure

A

Sperm are tiny, motile, and equipped with nutrients in seminal fluid

65
Q

What are the steps of recognition of sperm and egg

A
  1. Chemoattraction
  2. Exocytosis

In S. purpuratus the acrosomal process contains a protein called

A

Bindin

69
Q

It can cause the sperm and egg to fuse in Sea Urchins

A

Bindin

70
Q

It restores the diploid chromosome number and sperm centriole became the mitotic spindle
