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
