permanent teeth replacing milk teeth and myelination of nerve fibers are processes that occur before or after birth?
development after birth
The pre-embryonic period is from weeks _________.
weeks 1 to 2
The fetal period is from weeks ___________.
week 9 until birth
Organogenesis occurs in what period?
embryonic period (weeks 3-8)
vulnerability to harmful environmental influences is highest during what period?
embryonic period (weeks 3-8)
Gametes contain ____ autosomes and ____ sex chromosomes.
22 autosomes

1 sex chromosome
What is the haploid (1n) number of chromosomes?
23
Oocytes contain a ______ chromosome and spermatozoa contain a _________ chromosome.
-oocytes: always X chromsome
-spermatozoa: may contain X OR Y
How are gametes created?
a germ cell undergoes meiosis, where one DNA replication is followed by two cell divisions creating a total of 4 haploid gametes
Each primary oocyte gives rise to how many functional oocytes?
Only one. The other 3 haploid cells become nonfunctional polar bodies
A numerical chromosomal abnormality (having 22 or 24 chromosomes instead of the normal 23) occurs by what mechanism?
nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis
In ovulation, a ______________ is swept into the uterine tube by ___________.
-secondary oocyte
-fimbriae
An oocyte and sperm combine to form a ___________. This occurs in the ___________________.
-zygote (now considered diploid/2n)
-occurs in AMPULLA of the uterine tube
During the initial cleavage of the zygote, the dividing cells are called ______________ and progressively become ______________ as they divide because little growth occurs between each cell division.
-blastomeres
-smaller

-placenta
What forms when fluid penetrates between blastomeres to form a fluid-filled cavity?
a blastocyst/blastocele/blastocyst cavity
When does the blastocyst implant itself on the endometrium of the uterus?
5 1/2 to 6 days following fertilization
What results from the fertilization of two oocytes by two sperm?
fraternal/dizygotic twins...accounts for 2/3 of all twins
What kind of twins develop from a single fertilized ovum?
monozygotic/identical twins
The majority of monozygotic twins split at what stage of gestation?
the early blastocyst stage
Only _____% of conceived twins are both born alive, and those that are born alive have a higher mortality rate.
29%
Conjoined (Siamese) twins may be joined at the thorax ( ____________ ), sacral region ( _____________ ), or head ( __________________ ).

Infertility in females may be due to occluded uterine tubes (often resulting from ____________________).
pelvic inflammatory disease
What 3 methods are used to treat infertility?
1. in vitro fertilization
2. gamete intrafallopian transfer
3. intracytoplasmic sperm injection
If an abnormal gamete with a numerical chromosomal abnormality participates in fertilization, an embryo with one too few ( ____________ ) or one too many ( _____________ ) chromosomes results.
-monosomy

-trisomy
An _______________ is when the embryo implants at any abnormal site.
ectopic pregnancy
