Reproductive System
1. It is not a steroid hormone
- A. Epinephrine
- B. Estrogen
- C. Progesterone
- D. 17 hydoxy Testosterone

2. Descent of the testes into the scrotum is normally completed:
- A. at puberty
- B. before birth
- C. at adolescence
- D. one year after birth
View answer and explanation
Answer: B. before birth
When does descent normally finish? In most cases, testicular descent is complete by the time of birth. What if descent is delayed? Sometimes descent is incomplete at birth, a condition called cryptorchidism, but the normal, expected timing is before birth. Why is early descent important? Early descent allows the testes enough time to be positioned in the cooler scrotal environment necessary for future sperm production. MDCAT Point Testicular descent is normally completed before birth, not at puberty.
Reproductive System
3. In majority of plants pollen is liberated at
- A. 1 celled stage
- B. 2 celled stage
- C. 3 celled stage
- D. 4 celled stage
View answer and explanation
Answer: B. 2 celled stage
In the majority of flowering plants, pollen grains are shed from the anther at the 2-celled stage (one vegetative and one generative cell). One, three and four-celled stages are not the typical release stage. Hence the 2-celled-stage option is correct.
