There may be an important connection between sperm translocation and capacitation. Which of the following option is correct explanation of above statement?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The influx of bicarbonate ions (and possibly other ions) alkalinizes the sperm, raising its pH.

  2. before entering the ampulla of the oviduct, the uncapacitated sperm bind actively to the membranes of the oviduct cells in the narrow passage (the isthmus) preceding it.  This binding is temporary and appears to be broken when the sperm become capacitated.

  3. The cholesterol efflux from the sperm cell membrane is thought to change the location of its “lipid rafts,” isolated regions that often contain receptor proteins that can bind the zona pellucida and participate in the acrosome reaction.

  4. Capacitation is a transient event but translocation is not

Insulin like growth factor in mice, where IgF+ represents tall, IgF- represent dwarf phenotype, if cross between male tall (IgF+/IgF+) with female dwarf (IgF-/IgF-) resulting progeny will shows tall phenotype , while reciprocate this cross resulting progeny  shows dwarf phenotype. If resulting these F1 progeny cross each other then what will be the ratio in F2  generation?

If a cross is made between two parental homozygous allele female Red phenotype  (RR) cross with male white phenotype (rr)  resulting F1 progeny  is all red phenotype (Rr), if reciprocate this cross the resulting progeny will be change.

a) Gene expression will be the parental origin dependent

b) uniparental gene contribution and also the expression of the gene is uniparental

c) Gene expression independent over parental origin

d) Gene contribution is biparental but the expression of the gene is uniparental
