Correct Answer: 1-b, 2-d, 3-f, 4-g, 5-a, 6-c, 7-e
Detailed Explanation
- 1. Bunch of grapes → (b) Sow: The sow (and poultry) has ovaries that resemble a bunch of grapes due to multiple protruding follicles.
- 2. Almond shape → (d) Ewe: Cattle, sheep, and goat have almond-shaped ovaries.
- 3. Proestrus bleeding → (f) Bitch: The bitch shows proestrus bleeding (serosanguineous vulvar discharge) due to diapedesis of red blood cells through the uterine epithelium under estrogen influence.
- 4. Waxing → (g) Mare: 'Waxing' refers to the yellowish waxy drops of colostrum that appear at the teat ends of the mare 24–48 hours before foaling — a sign of impending parturition.
- 5. Abnormal sperms → (a) Teratozoospermia: Teratozoospermia = excessive number of morphologically abnormal (malformed) spermatozoa in semen.
- 6. Dead sperms → (c) Necrozoospermia: Necrozoospermia = presence of predominantly dead/non-viable spermatozoa.
- 7. Decreased sperm motility → (e) Asthenozoospermia: Asthenozoospermia = reduced sperm motility.
