Points for an incorrect answer:
Ignore the questions' coefficients:

1 I already really know all I need to know about embryology.

	true
	false

2 Which of the following statements is most correct about the human menstrual cycle.

	The menstrual cycle in all women is a 28 day reproductive cycle
	Ovulation always occurs at the midpoint of the menstrual cycle
	The menstrual cycle's main function is to regularly replace the lining of the uterus
	A high body temperature indicates ovulation is occurring
	The menstrual cycle is an endocrine cycle regulating reproductive physiological changes

3 Most pregnancies can be detected by pregnancy tests soon after fertilization.

	true
	false

4 Which of the following statements is correct about the zona pellucida:

	surrounds the oocyte in the ovary
	protects oocyte in the uterine tube
	is a specialized extracellular matrix
	is important for fertilization
	all of the above

5 Pregnancy tests generally are based upon the detection in maternal urine of:

7 The second and third trimesters cover the fetal period of development.

	true
	false

8 Which of these statements about environmentally derived abnormal development is incorrect:

	bacterial and viral infections can sometimes not affect development
	a specific environmental insult will result in a specific abnormal development outcome
	the first trimester is the most sensitive period to environmental insults
	some prescription drugs can lead to abnormal development outcomes
	rubella virus infection during pregnancy has serious abnormal development outcomes

9 Which of the following statements about Figure 1 (shown below) is most correct:

	figure 1 shows a normal female karyotype
	figure 1 shows all human chromosomes
	figure 1 shows a metaphase spread of a human genome
	figure 1 shows an abnormality of mitosis
