Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

zygote → ovum → fetus

none of these are correct

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

pulmonary vein

left ventricle

right atrium

aorta


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
