Animal Reproduction Intro, Unifying Feature of Animal Repro. Flashcards
(43 cards)
Two Types of Reproduction
-Sexual Reproduction
-Asexual Reproduction
_____ is the creation of new individuals from existing ones.
Reproduction
_____ creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Asexual Reproduction
Enumerate Four types of Asexual Reproduction.
-Budding
-Fission
-Fragmentation
-Regeneration
The type of asexual reproduction that produces offspring by the outgrowth and eventual splitting off of a new individual from the parent.
Budding
This is an asexual process where a parent separates into two or more offspring of about equal size.
Fission
This is an asexual process where the parent body breaks into several pieces.
Fragmentation
The type of asexual reproduction that typically follows after fragmentation and is the regrowth of a whole animal from the pieces.
Regeneration
It is the fusion of Gametes (Sperm and Egg) from two parents, then the formation of a zygote happens.
Sexual Reproduction
_____ are individuals with male and female reproductive systems.
Hermaphrodites
It is the study of the development of the embryo.
Embryology
What are the 5 major stages of Embryology.
-Gametogenesis (Gamete Production)
-Fertilization (Gamete - Zygote)
-Cleavage (Zygote - Blastula)
-Gastrulation (Blastula - Gastrula)
-Organogenesis (Organ Formation)
-i.e. Neurulation- (Gastrula - Neurula)
Produces gametes, haploid cells, by meiosis.
Gametogenesis.
-Is the formation of sperm cells.
-Occurs in seminiferous tubules inside the testes.
-Primary spermatocytes are diploid cells that undergo meiosis and produce secondary spermatocytes.
Spermatogenesis
Is the development of eggs within the ovaries.
Oogenesis
What does Meiosis I Produce:
-Secondary Oocyte
-Polar Body
What does Meiosis II Produce:
-A mature Ovum
-A polar Body
_____ - Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Fertilization
Sperm must pass through 3 barriers. What barriers are these?
- Jelly Coat
- Vitelline Layer
- Plasma Membrane
____ contains digestive enzymes that eat away at jelly layer.
Acrosome Cap
____ -species-specific boundary involved in sperm-egg recognition./ Ensures that other species cannot fertilize the egg./ Hardens and separates from the plasma membrane.
Vitelline Layer
What occurs when sperm nucleus and egg nucleus form a 2N zygote
Fertilization
The process of fertilization (Sexual Production)
- Sperm attaches the jelly coat of the egg.
- Sperm reach vitelline envelope.
- Sperm/ egg plasma membrane fuse.
- Prevention of Polyspermy
Prevention of Polyspermy is the prevention of what?
Prevention of entrance of multiple sperm.
