In the given diagram showing a blastocyst in human embryonic development:
I: | Both 3 and 5 are parts of inner cell mass and contribute to the embryo |
II: | 4 becomes the future amniotic cavity and prevents desiccation of the embryo |
III. | 2 is the outer cell mass and contributes to the placenta and ectoderm of the embryo |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only I and III are correct |
3. | Only I and II are incorrect |

What happens during fertilisation in humans after many sperms reach close to the ovum?
1. | Only two sperms nearest the ovum penetrate zona pellucida. |
2. | Secretion of acrosome helps one sperm enter the cytoplasm of the ovum through zona pellucida. |
3. | All sperms except the one nearest to the ovum lose their tails. |
4. | Cells of corona radiata trap all the sperms except one. |
