chapter 35 Flashcards
(37 cards)
What are asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction?
asexual reproduction: when one parent produces offspring that are genetically identical
sexual reproduction: involves two parents and produces genetically unique offspring.
What is one advantage and one disadvantage of
asexual reproduction?
1) does not require a mate
2) lack of diversity
What is one advantage and one disadvantage of
sexual reproduction?
1) genetic diversity
2) requires another partner
What are budding and fission
Budding: produces mini forms of itself and releases them
fission: a organism spilts into 2 seperate organisms
What are fragmentation and parthenogenesis?
fragmentation: a discarded part of the organism can become its own organism
Parthenogenesis: when no fertilization occurs but development does
What is
hermaphroditism?
when one organism has fuctional testies and functional ovaries
What are gonads? What are gametes? What is fertilization
gonads: reproductive organs
gametes: sex cells fertilization: union of sperm and egg
What are differentiation and pattern
formation?
differentiation: when cells assume specialized functions pattern formation: when genes determine overall shape and structure of the organisms body
What are direct and indirect development?
direct development: when offspring does resemble adult indirect development: when offspring does not resemble adult
What is the development sequence from zygote to
multicellular animal?
egg and sperm - diploid cell (zygote) - morula - blastula - gastrula
What are blastocoel and archenteron?
blastocoel: cavity found in blastula archenteron: “mouth” of gatrula.
What is
cleavage
when a fertilized egg is splitting into many smaller cells.
At which stage of development do the three germ layers
appear?
gastrula
What are the three layers, and what do they become?
1) mesoderm: everything else
2) endoderm: gut
3) ectoderm: skin and nervous system
What is the path of sperm from the testes to the external environment?
testes- epididymis- vas deferens- urethra.
testes
makes sperm
epididymis
stores sperm
vas deferens
tube that connects testes to outside environment
urethra
carries sperms out of body
What occurs in the seminiferous tubules?
procise location of the production of sperm
Are spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, and spermatids/sperm cells
diploid or haploid?
spermatogonia: diploid
primary spermatocytes: diploid
secondary spermatocytes: haploid spermatids/sperm cells: haploid
What are the three parts of a mature sperm cell?
head, midpiece, tail
What is the function of the acrosome
and mitochondria in a sperm cell?
1) holds digestive enzymes
2) makes the flagella move using atp
When do human males start producing sperm?
puberty
