Arrange the following cell layers/structures around the female gamete, from outer to inner side :
A. Zona pellucida
B. Perivitelline space
C. Corona radiata
D. Plasma membrane of ovum
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A D, B, A, C
- B C, A, D, B
- C C, A, B, D
- D A, C, B, D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) C, A, B, D
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) C, A, B, D
The mature female gamete (ovum) is surrounded by several layers. From the outermost to the innermost side, the arrangement is as follows:
Corona radiata: The outermost layer consisting of follicle cells.
Zona pellucida: A non-cellular glycoprotein layer situated just inside the corona radiata.
Perivitelline space: The narrow space between the zona pellucida and the plasma membrane of the ovum.
Plasma membrane of ovum (Oolemma): The innermost boundary enclosing the cytoplasm of the ovum.
Therefore, the correct sequence from outer to inner side is Corona radiata (C), Zona pellucida (A), Perivitelline space (B), and Plasma membrane of ovum (D).

- The blue and white selectable markers have been developed which differentiate recombinant colonies from non-recombinant colonies on the basis of their ability to produce colour in the presence of a chromogenic substrate.
Given below are two statements about this method:
Statement I : The blue coloured colonies have DNA insert in the plasmid and they are identified as recombinant colonies.
Statement II : The colonies without blue colour have DNA insert in the plasmid and are identified as recombinant colonies.
