Asexual reproduction |
Process of producing genetically identical cells or clones |
|
Binary fission |
Genome replicates and splits into 2 |
|
Budding |
Forming a bud that breaks off to form a new organism |
|
Fragmentation |
Splitting an organism into pieces that all produce new organisms |
|
Pathogenesis |
Unfertilized eggs divide by mitosis and produce offspring |
|
Meiosis |
Cell division that produces gametes |
|
Fertilization |
2 gametes joining to form a zygote |
|
Asexual reproduction charcteristics |
No mate, fast generation time, all offspring can produce more offspring |
|
Serial reproduction aspects |
Mating, slow generation time, only females produce offspring |
|
External fertilization |
S perm and egg released in water, large number of gametes |
|
Internal fertilization |
Inside the body of the female |
|
R-strategist |
Produce offspring with low probability of survival. They produce many offspring in an ever changing environment |
|
K-strategist |
Produce few offspring and put special care into then. Stable unchanging environment with crowded population |
|
Oviparous |
Lay eggs |
|
Viviparous |
Give birth to live young |
|
Amnion |
Membrane surrounding a fluid filled cavity that allows an embryo to develop in a watery environment |
|
Allantois |
Space where waste collects from an embryo |
|
Chorion |
Surround the entire embryo and all membranes attached to it |
|
Yolk sac |
Provides nutrients to embryo |
|
Sperm flagellum |
The tail of the sperm that allows it to move |
|
Sperm mitochondrion |
Many mitochondria that provide energy |
|
Where is the nucleus of a sperm cell? |
In the head |
|
Sperm Acrasomes |
Secretes an enzyme that breaks down outer coating of the egg |
|
Why are 5he testes outside of the body? |
Cooler temperature. Aid in sperm production |
|
Testes semeniferous tubules |
Where sperm is produced through mieosis |
|
Testes epididymis |
Where sperm gains the ability to move and where is is stored |
|
Vas deferens |
Tubule that goes through the penis to release sperm through the urethra |
|
Prostate gland |
Produces alkaline fluid that maintains sperm motility and counteracts the acidic female tract |
|
Seminal vesicals |
Secrete a protein and sugar rich fluid that makes up the most of the semen and provides energy to sperm |
|
Bulbourethral glands |
Produced clear fluid that lubricates urethra for passage of sperm |
|
Oocytes |
Female gamete, mature into ova |
|
Ovaries are connected by what? |
Fallopian tubes |
|
Where is the embryo formed? |
In the uterus |
|
Testes release what hormone? |
Testosterone |
|
Ovaries release what hormone? |
Estrogen and progesterone |
|
Follicular phase |
Maturation and release of an egg, days 1>14. FSH acts on granules a cells in which stimulate follicular cells to mature |
|
What does estradiol do? |
Thicken the uterine lining |
|
Luteal phase |
Begins with ovulation, increased estradiol levels, LH stimulate release of egg |
|
What happens is an egg is not fertilized? |
Corpus luteus degenerates, progesterone levels drop |
|
What happens if fertilization occurs |
Embryo implants in the uterus, maintains corpus luteum |
|
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) |
Hormone that pregnancy tests detect |
|
Spermatogenesis |
In semeniferous tubule, sperm production starts at puberty and never stops |
|
Oogenesis |
Formation of eggs |
|
How many primary oocytes is a female born with? |
1-2 million |
|
How many primary oocytes is a female born with? |
1-2 million |
|
Process of fertilization |
1. Sperm contacts oocytes 2. Release enzyme to break through oocytes outer layers 3. Plasma membranes of sperm and egg fuse together 4. Sperm nucleus enters eggs cytoplasm |
|
What does the sperm have to travel through to get to the oocyte? |
Cervix, uterus, and fallopian tube |
|
Cleavage steps |
Zygote> 2 cell stage > 4 cell stage > morula |
|
Morula |
Solid ball of cells |
|
Blastula |
Fluid filled ball of cells |
