C
first trimester
D

During the development of human offspring, which of the following begins to hear and see?

A
fetus
B
embryo
C
blastocyst
D
zygote
4

A medical biologist is examining one of many cells that are produced during the human oogenesis process. The cell is haploid, meaning that it has 23 chromosomes, and it was removed from the body shortly after it entered the fallopian tube. The cell had begun the process of meiosis II, but did not finish it. What type of cell is the biologist most likely examining?

A
a fertilized egg
B
a polar body
C
a primary oocyte
D
a secondary oocyte
5

What is one difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis?

A
Oogenesis occurs in females, but spermatogenesis occurs in males.
B
Oogenesis starts at puberty, but spermatogenesis starts before birth.
C
Oogenesis involves mitosis, but spermatogenesis involves meiosis.
D
Oogenesis involves differentiation, but spermatogenesis does not involve any differentiation.

A
the first trimester.
B
the second trimester.
C
the third trimester.
D
birth.

What process occurs as a zygote becomes a blastocyst?

A
meiosis
B
cleavage division
C
fertilization
D
ovulation
8

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?

A
zygote ® fetus ® embryo ® blastocyst
B
blastocyst ® embryo ® fetus ® zygote
C

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy negatively impacts development of the fetus because

A
the mother’s body is unable to process alcohol.
B
alcohol crosses the placental barrier.
C
the mother can no longer produce primary oocytes.
D
alcohol causes the mother to have facial distortions.
10

In the United States, alcoholic beverages that are sold in stores display a government warning stating that pregnant women should not drink alcoholic beverages. This is because

A
it prevents cleavage division from occurring, so a zygote cannot become a blastocyst.
B
if a woman drinks alcohol while she is pregnant, she may not be able to ovulate again after childbirth.
C
studies have proven that alcohol consumption causes long-lasting disorders in the fetus.
D
the science of chemistry has shown that alcohol is a reactive substance that may interfere with the mother’s food digestion.
