Asexual Reproduction: Advantages |
|
Definition
- No need for a partner – Can produce large numbers of offspring |
|
|
Term
Asexual Reproduction: Disadvantages |
|
Definition
– Since all offspring are identical – low ability to adapt to environmental change |
|
|
Term
Sexual reproduction definition |
|
Definition
is the creation of offspring from two parents |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
– sex cells – egg or sperm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
– gamete-producing structures – ovaries or testes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
yes. – Half the amount of DNA as a “normal” cell – One of each pair of homologous chromosomes |
|
|
Term
Fusion of two haploid gametes |
|
Definition
– results in a diploid (2n) fertilized egg – known as a zygote |
|
|
Term
Example of sexual reproduction forming a zygote |
|
Definition
– Normal cells have 4 chromosomes – Gametes have 2 chromosomes – 2 gametes together = zygote with 4 chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a mixture of parental genetic information – Half came from egg, mom – Half came from sperm, dad |
|
|
Term
Between Asexual and Sexual rproduction, which produces genetically unique offspring? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
animals that have both female and male reproductive systems – Have eggs – Can produce and receive sperm – Earthworms are an example |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• female lays eggs in water, • male releases sperm over the eggs • aquatic invertebrates, fish, amphibians |
|
|
Term
Internal Fertilization = Copulation |
|
Definition
• sexual intercourse allows internal fertilization • sharks, reptiles, birds, mammals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• Occurs Within the Female Body • Internal fertilization is essential for reproduction on land |
|
|
Term
What does Mature sperm consist of? |
|
Definition
– cytoplasm is removed – head with DNA – midpiece with mitochondria – tail |
|
|
Term
Female Reproductive Tract |
|
Definition
Includes the Ovaries and Accessory Structures |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Includes the Testes and Accessory Structures |

|
Term
Where are sperm produced? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Production of mature eggs – begins in the female fetus – pauses until puberty |
|
|
Term
Female accessory structures |
|
Definition
– Allow sperm access to mature egg – Carry fertilized egg to Uterus for development |
|
|
Term
At puberty, how many egg cells develop each month in a female |
|
Definition
1 egg cell develops each month – until menopause (cessation of menstruation) • About 2 million potential eggs in fetus • Only 700,000 eggs at birth • Only 350,000 eggs left at puberty |
|
|
Term
How soon is the egg cell released from the ovary after it is formed, and what is this process called? |
|
Definition
The 1 egg cell that develops each month is released from the ovary about 12 hours after it is formed. This is called ovulation – released from the ovary about 12 hours after it is formed |
|
|
Term
When does ovulation occur? |
|
Definition
Occurs on the 14th day of a 28 day menstrual cycle – Occurred 14 days before the first day of your period |
|
|
Term
How long are sperm able to fertilize an egg in the body after intercourse? |
|
Definition
They are alive and able to fertilize an egg for up to 6 DAYS after intercourse!!! |
|
|
Term
Outside of the body, how long are sperm viable? |
|
Definition
Sperm are viable for up to 72 hours |
|
|
Term
How long are eggs viable? |
|
Definition
for at least 24 hours after ovulation |
|
|
Term
Hormonal Methods of birth prevention |
|
Definition
Prevent ovulation of eggs – Examples: birth control pills, Depo-Provera injections |
|
|
Term
Barrier methods of preventing fertilization |
|
Definition
Prevent sperm and eggs from meeting – Examples: condoms, diaphram, spermicide |
|
|
Term
Methods that prevent implantation of zygote |
|
Definition
Prevent implantation of fertilized egg – Examples: IUD, morning after pill |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
emit a low dose of synthetic progesterone and estrogen – This mimics pregnancy – No ovulation – Very little uterine lining development (lighter period) |
|
|
Term
Progesterone Only Pills or Minipill |
|
Definition
Less effective than Birth control pills. Low dose of progesterone – Usually stops ovulation – Creates mucus plug barrier |
