What does anther do

A

Produces pollen grains

16
Q

What is the filament

A

Stem of the male reproductive organ

17
Q

Pollen is the

A

Male sex cell

18
Q

Female reproductive organs

A
Ovaries 
Fallopian tube or oviduct 
Uterus 
Cervix 
Vagina 
Vaginal opening
19
Q

Egg fertilization

A

Development of sperm and egg
Sperm is released into the vagina passed into th cervix, through the uterus, into the Fallopian tube(oviduct) to meet fertilize the egg
Sperm fertilizes the egg in the Fallopian tube(oviduct) then attaches itself to the wall of the uterus to be protected and nourished

20
Q

Male reproductive organs

A
Testes 
Vas deferens 
Epididymis 
Urethra 
Penis 
Prostate
21
Q

Sperms journey

A
Produced in the testes 
Stored in the epididymis 
Travels through the vas deferens 
Passes prostate gland to get semen
Leaves pens through urethra
22
Q

Meiosis steps

A

Interphase(before meiosis): DNA is being copied
Step 1: Each chromosome makes a copy of itself
Step 2: Chromosomes line up at the equator with their homologous partner
Step 3: Homologous partners separate to each side of the cell
Step 4: The nuclear membrane reformed around the chromosomes
Step 5:(interphase II) Two new cells form, chromosomes DO NOT copy this time
Step 6: Chromosomes line up a the equator WITHOUT a partner
Step 7: Chromatids separate
Step 8: Nuclear membrane forms around the chromatids
Step 9: Cells divide

23
Q

DNA stands for….

A

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

24
Definition of DNA
A molecule that contains a genetic code that instructs cells to create certain proteins
25
Structure of DNA
Double helix(twisted ladder)
26
The five atoms that make up DNA
``` Carbon Nitrogen Hydrogen Oxygen Phosphorus ```
27
What are the four nucleotide-bases held together by bonds
Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine
28
Which nucleotide-bases pair up with which
Adenine-Thymine | Cytosine-Guanine
29
Amino acids make what
Amino acids are what make up proteins
30
What is a phenotype
The description of a trait on an organisms body
31
What is a genotype
The abbreviation of a phenotype Ex. Phenotype: Tongue roller Genotype: RR
32
