|
|
Term
| What is the function of the tail in the spermatozoa? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| it leads to polar bodies, which degenerate and there is chromosome wastage. |
|
|
Term
| How does age effect family planning? |
|
Definition
| eggs are established at birth but kept at the primary oocyte stage till puberty... so technically an egg is as old as the female and as you increase in age there is a chance for an increase in genetic abnormality |
