Reproduction in animal kingdom
|
asexual, sexual reproduction.
|
|
Asexual reproduction
|
generation of new individuals without the fusion of egg and sperm, relies almost entirely on mitotic divisions.
|
|
Sexual reproduction
|
fusion of haploid gametes to form a diploid cell, the zygote.
|
|
Egg
|

|
|

|
|
Mechanisms of invertebrate asexual reproduction
|
fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, parthenogenesis.
|
|
Invertebrate fission
|
separation of a parent organism into two individuals of approximately equal size. ex... sea anemone
|
|
Invertebrate budding
|
new individuals arise from out growths of existing ones. ex... hydra.
|
|
Invertebrate fragmentation
|
breaking of the body into several pieces.
|
|
Invertebrate Regeneration
|
regrowth of lost body parts. ex.. starfish growing new arms.
|
|
Invertebrate parthenogenesis
|
asexual reproduction in which an egg develops without being fertilized. ex... bees goes both ways asexual and sexual.
|
|
Ovulation
|
release of mature eggs occurring at the midpoint of each cycle, occurs when sufficient energy sources and environmental conditions are ideal.
|
|
Ovulation Environmental cues
|
photoperiodism, temperature changes, rainfall, lunar cycles.
|
|
Hermaphroditism
|
Each individual has both male and female reproductive systems, any two individuals can mate (donating and receiving sperm), and are capable of self-fertilization.
|
|
Fertilization
|
union of sperm and egg.
|
|
External fertilization
|
the female releases egg into the environment where the male then fertilizes them. requires a moist habitat to prevent desiccation and to allow sperm to swim, triggered by chemical signals, triggered by environmental cues.
|
|
Internal Fertilization
|
sperm are deposited in or near the female reproductive tract and fertilization occurs within the tract, requires compatible reproductive system and cooperative mating.
|
|
Internal Fertilization few gametes
|
higher survival rate of zygotes.
|
|
Internal Fertilization zygotes
|
are sheltered from potential predators.

|
Marsupials
|

|
Noncancerous prostate cancer
|
benign enlargement of prostate in over 50% of men over 40.
|
|
Gametogenesis
|
spermatogenesis, oogenesis, ovarian cycle, menstrual cycle, menopause.
|
|
Spermatogenesis
|
formation and development of sperm cells, continuous and prolific in adult males, new sperm are created every day, process takes about 7 weeks-completed before sperm leaves testes.
|
|
Oogenesis
|
formation and development of mature eggs, begins at puberty and ends at menopause, females are born with all their eggs, pauses at birth and resumes at puberty, takes 28 days to mature.
|
|
Ovarian Cycle
|
controls maturation and release of the egg from the ovaries.
|
|
Menstral (uterine) cycle
|
preparing the uterus for the possible implantation of an embryo. If pregnancy does not occur, the uterine lining is sloughed off, and another cycle begins
|
