three stages of animal sexual reproduction | gametogenesis, mating, fertilization |
benefits of asexual reproduction | energetically less demanding, but does not generate genetic diversity within a population |
benefits/costs of sexual reproduction | requires produciton of haploid gametes by males and females |
describe parthenogensis in whiptail lizards | female-only species engages in courtship and mating behavior; one individual assumes behavior of both sexes during the reproductive season |
how do daphnia respond to environmental cues | in spring/summer -> daphnia produce diploid daughter, early fall -> begin producing diploid sons, both sexes produce gametes, which fuse and overwinter as eggs |
what causes switch from producing daughters to sons | food scarcity and shorter days |
in what species of daphnia is sexual reproduction more common | crowded populations than sparse populations |
describe spermatogensis | start with spermatogonium may divide by mitosis to form more) then primary spermatocyte by mitosis, secondary by meiosis one, spermatids by meiosis two |
describe oogensis | oogonium (2n) -> mitosis & differentiation primary oocyte (2n) -> meiosis one secondary oocyte/polar body () -> meiosis 2 ootid -> mature egg cell |
external fertiliation | aquatic, large numbers of gametes,synchronous gamete release necessary |
internal fertilization | terrestrial, copulation/spermatophore transfer...leads to sexual selection among males |
sperm competition | phenomenon that causes unique behabiors and traits to appear via sexual selection |
exmples of sperm competition | mate guarding, copulatory plugs |
mate guarding | advantage of preventing multiple matings in female has to outweigh loss of opportunity to mate with other females |
what leads to sperm competition? | multiple mates...adaptations that affect likelihood of another male's pserm fertilizing hte eggs |
parental investment | any investment that incrases the offspring's chances of survival at the cost of hte parent's ability to invest in other offspring |
sex limitations in investment | more - limited by access to resources for investment/ less - ability to mate with sex that invests more |
examples of parental investment | caring for young, nuptial gifts, edible spermaophores, foraging for young |
benefits of promiscuity in chimpanzess | females maximize reproductive success while having support of males in communities; males maximize chances and able to vary througout lives mating strategies |
describe polyandry in pipefish | males provide nutrients and oxygen to fertilized eggs within a brood pouch for several weeks (within time female can produce two clutches) |
in polyandry who is choosier sex | males...females scramble for access to males so sexual selection for larger decorated females |
monogamy in sea horses | females exhibit mate guarding to prevent male from mating iwth other females and remains with one male during season |
