Following are the statements related to mammalian chaemotaxis:

A. During chaemotaxis, the oocyte and its accompanying cumulus cells secrete molecules that attract only uncapacitated sperm toward the egg during the last stages of sperm migration.

B. These chaemotactic compound are hormone progesterone, which is made by the cumulus cells.

C. Progesterone has been shown to bind to a receptor that activates Ca2+ channels in the cell membrane of the sperm tail, leading to sperm hyperactivity and provides directional cue.

D. Cumulus cells also secrete a substance, CRISP1, that attracts sperm and hyperactivates them through CatSper channels similar as in sea urchins.

            49 green, round

B:      100 yellow, round

C:  24 yellow, round

      26 yellow, wrinkled

      25 green, round

      25 green, wrinkled

What were the genotypes of A, B, and C respectively?
