A&P 2 L6 Flashcards
Sex cell= Sperm/ egg
Gamete
Reproduction without union of gametes
Asexual
Types of Asexual Reproduction:
Lower classes of animals; piece of organism breaks off & forms new individual
Fragmentation
Types of Asexual Reproduction:
Simple cell division to form a new organism
Fission
Types of Asexual Reproduction:
Only involves eggs; the development of unfertilized eggs
Parthogensis
Types of Asexual Reproduction:
One egg and One sperm;
Forms a zygote; then zygote splits
Identical Twins
Types of Asexual Reproduction:
Specialized structure bud and release; reproduces by forming buds by mitosis
Budding
Advantages of Asexual Reproduction
- Only one parent
- Produce a lot of individual in a
short period of time. - Adapted to their environment
Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction:
- Very little genetic ability
- Not well adapted to changing
environment
Sexual Reproduction:
Sex cells- Sperm/ eggs combine
Union of Gametes
Advantages of Sexual Reproduction
- Genetic recombination- A lot
- Genetic Variability- A lot
- Adapt well to changing
environment
Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction
- 2 parents
- Much more complex
reproductive processes and
reproductive structure
Body cells; example- zygote, skin cells
Somatic cell
Gonads- define and give 2 examples
Primary sex cell producing organ
Ex. Testes and ovaries
Every other structure besides “Gonads” in the male and female reproductive system is called secondary organs:
True or False
True
Fertilized eggs = (2N=diploid)
Zygote
1 replication of chromosomes and 2 cell division (tested & ovaries)
Meiosis
Define Mitosis:
1 Replication of chromosomes and 1 cell division
R= Haploid is:
Sperm and egg= N= 23
Single set of chromosomes
2n= Biploid
46 chromosomes
2 Full sets of chromosomes
2N= 46
The only cells in the human body that are not diploid cells are:
Sperm and Egg
Haploid Cells are:
Sperm and egg
What is “Spermatogenesis:
When sperm is produced and occurs in the testes
What is “Oogenesis:
Ovaries production of eggs
