offspring without fusion of egg and sperm, not many use this
6
Q
what is the process for asexual reproduction?
A
mitosi
7
Q
what is budding?
A
part of animal buds off and forms a new individual, jellyfish, starfish,bacteria, yeast
8
Q
what is fission?
A
parents separate into 2 individuals in coral and worms
9

ok
12
Q
what is parthenogensis?
A
egg develops without being fertilized, bees wasps, ants. found in stable environments
13
Q
what are some pros of sexual reproduction?
A
gets rid of harmful genes and increases genetic diversity. however more energy is needed
14
Q
why do animals have reproductive cycles related to changing seasons?
A
more favorable environmental conditions
15
Q
what’s with the caribou in greenland?
A
plants started sprouting earlier and caribou reproduction was late. so the pregnant ones didnt get enough nutrients
16
Q
what is hermaphroditism?

what is fertilization?
A
egg and sperm meet
20
Q

A
egg and sperm meet outside of body, usually in aquatic environments
21
Q
what is spawning?
A
release of gonads
22
Q
what does internal fertilization require?
A
behavioral interactions and compatible copulatory organs
23
Q
why is survival of zygotes better in internal fertilization?
A
eggs are shielded from environment, more parental care
24
Q
what is the spermatheca?
A
where sperm is stored during copulation to wait for a favorable environment
25
look at diff types of uteruses
ok
26
what is the cloaca?
a common cavity at the end of the digestive tract for the release of both excretory and genital products in vertebrates

3 cylinders of spongy erectile tissue, fills with blood from arteries and pressure seals off veins that drain penis.
41
what are ovaries?
produce females gametes and reproductive hormones
42
what are follicles?
contains a developing oocyte and secretes estrogen
43
what are oocytes?
a partially developed egg
44
what is the oviduct? (fallopian tube)
tube from ovary to uterus
45
what is the uterus?
the womb LMAO WHAT KINDA DEF
46
what is the endometrium?
inner lining of uterus, richly supplied with blood vessels
47
what is the cervix?
opens into vagina
48
what the vagina?
location for sperm deposits
49
what is the vulva?
collective term for female genitalia
50
what is the labia majora?
encloses and protects the rest of the vulva
51
what is the labia minora?
thin skin folds that surrounding opening of vagina and urethra
52
what is the hymen?
a thin piece of tissue that partly covers the vaginal opening
53
what are mammary glands?
small sacs of epithelial tissue that secrete milk
54
what is gametogenesis?
production of gametes
55
what is spermatogenesis?
formation and development of sperm, continuous and millions form a day
56
what is oogenesis?
development of mature eggs. immature eggs form in the ovary but do not complete develop in years or decades
57
what are the differences between spermatogenesis and oogenesis?
1. sperm is continually produced while there are long pauses in oogenesis
2. sperma. is through adolescnce and adulthood while oogen. is completed before birth and stop at age 50
3. sperma. use all 4 products of meiosis become sperm while in oogen. cytoplasm goes into one egg who becomes the "the one" and gets released
58
what is the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone?
directs the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary
59
what are FSH and LH?
regulate gametogensis and production of sex hormones
60
what are trophic hormones?
regulaates endocrine cells
61
what are gonadotrophs?
male and female gonads, stimulate sex hormone production
62
what are sertoli cells?
nourish developing sperm located in seminiferous tubules
63
what are leydig cells?
produce testosterone in connective tissue, promote spermatogenesis
64
what does testosterone regulate?
gonadotrophin-relasing hormone, FSH and LH
65
what does seratoli cells regulate?
secrete inhibin to reduce FSH secretion
66
when does ovulation occur?
after endometrium has started to thicken and develop a rich blood supply, preparing the uterus for an implantation of an embryo
67
what is menstruation?
endometrium is shed
68
give me the steps of the ovarian cycle lmao
1. GnRH is secreted and stimulates anterior pituitary
2. FSH and LH are secreted
3. FSH stimulates follicle growth
4. cells of the growing follicle make estradiol
5. estradiol secretion rises steeply
6. FSH and LH increase
7. maturing follicle forms a bulge at the end of the ovary
8. LH stimulates the leftover follicular tissue to make a corpus luteum
69
give me the steps of the menstrual cycle lol
9. estrdiol and progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum stimulate development of uterine lining
10. ovarian hormone levels drop and endometrium sheds
70
what is endometeriosis?
some cells of the uterine linging migrate to an abnormal (ectopic) location
71
what is menopause?
the end of ovulation and menstruation, ovaries lose responsiveness to FSH and LH->decline in estradiol production
72
why is menopause unusal?
most animals reproduce for life
73
what is the grandma hypothesis?
ovulation and menstruation stops so you can help your kids with their kids
74
who are the only mammals with menstrual cycles?
humans and some primates
75
what is the estrous cycle?
uterus reabsorbs the endometrium and no fluid comes out. sexual activity is limited.
76
give me the steps of the formation of a human zygote hehe
1. ovulation releases an oocyte
2. fertilization occurs in oviduct
3. cleavage of zygote
4. cells reach uterus and becomes a blastocyst (hollow ball of cells)
5. blastocyst implants itself into the endometrium
77
why is the first trimester have the most radical change in the baby and mom?
more hormones are being secreted
78
what does human chorionic gonadotropin do?
secretes estrogen and progesterones, detected in pregnancy tests
79
do all embryos develop?
no some have abnormalities
80
what is an ectopic pregnancy?
fertilized egg attaches to fallopian tube
81
where does the developing embryo get nutrients?
for the first 3 weeks-> endometrium
| after-> umbilical cord
82
what is the trophoblast?
outer layer of blastocyst, interacts with endometrium
83
what is the placenta?
house of fetus, gas exchange, fights infection, food
84
what is the difference between identical and fraternal twins?
identical twins come from 1 egg and sperm and the embryo splits within the first month
fraternal twins come from 2 eggs and sperm and are in separate placentas
85
what is organogenesis?
development of organs in the 1st trimester
86
when does the baby heart start beating?
4 weeks and detected at 10 weeks
87
when is it called a fetus?
at 8 weeks when all major structures of the adult are present in rudimentary form
88
how big is the embryo at the end of the 1st trimester?
5 cm long
89
what happens to the mother during the 1st trimester?
high levels of progesterone, mucus plugs cervix to prevent infection, placenta breast and uterus grow, ovulation and menstrual stop. morning sickness.
90
what happens during the 2nd trimester?
mother feels fetal movement, hCG secretion declines, corpus luteum deteriorates, placenta takes over the production of progesterone
91
what happens during the 3rd trimester?
fetus grows and fills the space within the embryonic membrane. mom's organs get squished
92
what is labor?
contractions that push baby and placenta out, regulated by oxytocin and estradiol (positive feedback)
93
what are the 3 stages of labor?
1. dilation of cervix
2. fetus exiting
3. placenta exiting
94
what is lactation?
production of milk
prolactin-glands to produce milk
oxytocin- produce milk
95
what is the role of the immune system during pregnancy?
it relaxes. if it were active, it would try to get rid of the baby
96
what is contraception?
deliberate method to prevent pregnancy
97
what are the 3 categories of contraceptives?
1. preventing the release of egg and sperm (birth control, vasectomy)
2. keeping egg and sperm apart (abstinence, condoms, spermicides)
3. preventing implantation of embryo (plan b)
98
what is abortion?
ending of a pregnancy after implantation
99
