Most Repeated MDCAT Biology: Reproduction MCQs
The most repeated Reproduction questions in MDCAT Biology, measured from 377 real past papers. Reproduction contributed 634 questions across those papers, and 9 distinct questions recurred with the same verified answer across 2 or more different exam years — listed below (ranked by how many years each recurs in), with the answer, an explanation, and the exact years.

Why Reproduction is a high-yield MDCAT Biology topic
Out of 634 real Biology questions attributed to Reproduction across 377 MDCAT past papers, 9 distinct questions came back with the same correct answer in 2 or more different exam years (the recurrences here span 2009–2024, 12 distinct exam years). A question the examiners have reused verbatim is far more likely to appear again than one asked only once — which is exactly why working through this list first is one of the highest-return ways to revise MDCAT Biology.
Most repeated in this topic
“The end or complete stop of the menstrual cycle is called:”
Appeared in 2 exam years (2016, 2021) — always with the same answer. It is the first question below.
How to use this list
Every question below shows the verified correct answer, a short explanation, and the exact past-paper years it appeared in — with the most-repeated ones first. Read the explanation even when you know the answer, since MDCAT often reuses the concept with reworded options. When you have these 9 down cold, drill the full topic with fresh questions in the MDCAT MCQ practice bank, then revise the underlying theory in the Reproduction chapter guide.
How we measured “most repeated”
We parsed 377 real MDCAT past papers and grouped questions that are effectively the same. A question counts as repeated only when the same correct answer recurs in 2 or more distinct exam years — not merely a similar topic or a lucky guess. Questions that appeared only once are excluded, so nothing here is padding. See the full method and subject-by-subject numbers on the MDCAT repetition study.

Sperms of which animal can remain viable for years within the female genital tract?
- AWhale
- BBat✓
- CCamel
- DGiraffe
Explanation
In most mammals, sperm is capable of fertilizing eggs for only a few days after copulation. Female bats have the ability to store sperm for extended periods, ranging from several months to even years, making them the correct answer in this context. Whales, camels, and giraffes do not exhibit the same level of sperm viability within the female genital tract as bats do.

- BDizygotic twins
- CFraternal twins
- DSiamese twins✓
Explanation

In human males, inhibin hormone is produced by:
- ALeyding Cells
- BSertoli Cells✓
- CGerminal Epithelium
- DInterstitial Cell
Explanation
Inhibin is a hormone produced by Sertoli cells in the testes of human males. It plays a crucial role in regulating the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland.
