| (a) | It results in the formation of haploid gametes. |
| (b) | Differentiation of gamete occurs after the completion of meiosis. |
| (c) | Meiosis occurs continuously in a mitotically dividing stem cell population. |
| (d) | It is controlled by the Luteinising hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary. |
| (e) | It is initiated at puberty. |

Identify the wrong statement from the following:
| 1. | High levels of estrogen trigger the ovulatory surge. |
| 2. | Oogonial cells start to proliferate and give rise to functional ova in regular cycles from puberty onwards, |
| 3. | Sperms released from seminiferous tubules are poorly motile/ non-motile. |
| 4. | Progesterone level is high during the post ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle. |
| I: | The primary follicles get surrounded by more layers of granulosa cells, a theca and shows fluid filled cavity antrum. Now it is called secondary follicle. |
| II: | Graafian follicle ruptures to release the secondary oocyte from the ovary by the process called ovulation. |
Select the correct option of haploid cells from the following groups :
| 1. | Primary oocyte, Secondary oocyte, Spermatid |
| 2. | Secondary spermatocyte, First polar body, Ovum |
| 3. | Spermatogonia, Primary spermatocyte, Spermatid |
| 4. | Primary spermatocyte, Secondary spermatocyte, Second polar body |
| 1. | B - Corpus luteum - secretes progesterone |
| 2. | A - Tertiary follicle - forms Graafian follicle |
| 3. | B - Corpus luteum - secretes LH |
| 4. | A - Primary oocyte - it is the prophase - I of the meiotic division |
