_____ -
Offspring are produces from a single parent (no fusion of gametes from 2 parents)

____-
Allows a more rapid adaptation to environmental changes.

primary oocytes
____ - confined to aquatic environments
External fertilization
____ - Eggs and sperm are released in close proximity
Occurs in aquatic environments to protect gametes from drying out
Species-specific behaviors to bring egg and sperm together
Usually release very large numbers of eggs at once
External fertilization
____ -
Can protect that zygote w/in the organism and it is protected from the outside environment
Need specialized structure/organs for this to take place
Internal fertilization
____ -
Sperm deposited within female reproductive tract
Protects delicate gametes from environmental hazards and predation
Behaviors and anatomical structures varied
Internal fertilization
pros and cons of internal fertilization -
Energetically expensive to feed that growing organism
Need anatomic structures to house and nourish that growing organism
Do not need that high investment in gametes
____ - rapid depolarization that takes place
Fast block
____ - change in makeup of the membrane so another membrane do not penetrate
Slow block
____ shutting egg off to further penetration, slow block - keeping it that way.
Fast-block
Inside information of the sperm will fuse with nucleus of the egg and will form a ____. Now have a____.
diploid cell
zygote
Once sperm fuses with egg, other sperm are prevented from entering, ____ and ____ to polyspermy.
Fast-block
Slow block
Sperm contact plasma membrane of ova using proteolytic enzymes in ____ to digest ____
acrosome
zona pellucida
Sperm swims toward egg following ____ from ova of their own species
chemical attractant molecules
Modes of development -
Viviparity
oviparity
____ - embryo develops within the mother, investment by mother is high
Viviparity
____ - embryo develops inside an egg, reduces females metabolic investment but increases predation.
Oviparity
____ - produce eggs, but produce milk so in mammal category, but not ____
Monotremes
viviparitous
____ - change over time w/ some breakthroughs
Evolution
Development of hard eggs
____ - huge breakthrough
Amniote egg
____ = hard eggs
____, can have young develop further and hatch when they are ready to take care of themselves
Amniotes
Amniotes
____ in humans:
Eggs develop in one of 2 ovaries,
Typically one egg released into oviduct or fallopian tube
Egg moved down oviduct by cilia
Fertilization usually occurs in oviduct
Blastocyst is a ball of 32-150 cells that enters uterus.
Oogenesis
___ - oocytes become depleted and ovulation stops
Menopause
____ -
Most female mammals are born with all the primary oocytes that they will ever have
About 1 million at birth but degeneration leaves about 200,000 in each ovary at puberty
Ovarian cycles lasts approximately 28 days in humans
Several oocytes begin maturation but only 1 is ovulated each cycle
Oogenesis
Great apes ____ as well, no estrus cycle.
menstruate
____ is characterized by the bleeding
Menstruation
____ - genetic predisposition to ovulate multiple eggs per cycle, higher chance of twins.
First step in fertility treatment, is to induce multiple eggs to be released
Multiple ovulators
____ and ____ are from brain (ant pit)
FSH
LH
____ and ____ are from ovaries.
Estradiol
progesterone
____ have an effect on moods as well.
Hormones
____ or ____ -
Time during which a developing embryo grows within the uterus of the mother,
Length varies widely and is roughly related to adult size
Prolonging gestation protects developing embryo and offspring is more fully developed at birth.
