Exam traps and common mistakes in this unit

Lesson: Birth Control Methods

Category: Similar Terms

Hormonal: pills, implants. Barrier: condom, diaphragm. IUD: Cu releasing (CuT), hormonal (LNG-20). Surgical: vasectomy/tubectomy.

When it triggers

Question asks which category a specific method falls in.

How to avoid

Map by mechanism: hormone → pill/implant; physical block → barrier; uterine → IUD; permanent → surgical.

Lesson: Female Reproductive System

Category: Similar Terms

Spermatogenesis: 1 spermatogonium → 4 sperm (all functional). Oogenesis: 1 oogonium → 1 functional ovum + 3 polar bodies.

When it triggers

Question on number of functional gametes per primary cell.

How to avoid

Sperm: 4. Ovum: 1 (with 3 polar bodies discarded).

Lesson: Fertilization Pregnancy

Category: Negative Marking

Fertilisation in ampulla; cleavage during journey; implantation occurs ~6-7 days after fertilisation in uterine endometrium.

When it triggers

Question on day of implantation, location of fertilisation.

How to avoid

Fertilisation = ampulla. Implantation = day 6-7 post-fertilisation in uterus.

Lesson: Menstrual Cycle

Category: Similar Terms

FSH dominant follicular phase; LH surge triggers ovulation Day 14; progesterone dominant in luteal phase.

When it triggers

Question gives day or phase and asks dominant hormone.

How to avoid

Follicular = FSH. Day 14 = LH peak. Luteal = progesterone (corpus luteum).

Lesson: Birth Control Methods

Lesson: Female Reproductive System

Root cause: term confusion

Correction

Oogenesis yields ONLY 1 functional ovum + 3 (or 1 + 2) polar bodies that degenerate. Asymmetric cytokinesis preserves cytoplasm in the egg.
