| What structure stores sperm? | epididymis |
| What structure produces an egg and estrogen? | Ovary |
| The releasing of an egg by the ovary is called? | Ovulation |
| What is the male reproductive hormone responsible for secondary sex characteristics and sperm formation? | Testosterone |
| What is the female hormone responsible for secondary sex characteristics and the formation of the egg? | Estrogen |
| The organ where a fetus forms. | Uterus |
| Structure that delivers sperm into the vagina. | Penis |
| Where fertilization takes place. | Fallopian Tubes |
| The process in which an egg and sperm join. | Fertilization |
| Structure that takes sperm from the epididymis to the penis. | Vas Deferens |
| Holds the testis so that they are protected and are one degree cooler than the rest of the body. | Scrotum |
| Strong muscular contractions a female feels when giving birth. | labor |
| When the lining of the uterus and an unfertilized egg is shed from the female's body. | Menstruation |
| The monthly changes where the uterine lining thickens, an egg is released and the lining and egg are shed from the body that happens every 28 days. | Menstrual Cycle |
| When cells in an embryo become specialized and receive their specific jobs. | differentiation |
| Process by which a fertilized egg divides into new cells as the fetus forms. | Mitosis |
| When one egg is fertilized and splits into two forming fetuses. | Identical twins |
| When two eggs are released and they are both fertilized by different sperm so that there are two fetuses. | Fraternal Twins |
| Hormone responsible for adding tissue to the uterus as well as new blood supplies. | Progesterone |
| Structure that separates the vagina from the uterus and protects the female from pathogens entering into the uterus. | Cervix |
| Process that maintains homeostasis. As one substance increases it causes something else to decrease. | Negative Feedback |

| Since an egg and sperm only have 23 chromosomes each they are said to be ______ cells. | Haploid |
| When an egg and sperm join combining 23 chromosomes each to make 46 the new cell is said to be ________. | Diploid |
| When an egg and sperm join the new cell is called an ______? | embryo |
| The amount of time it takes for a fetus to fully develop is called? | gestation period |
| Fish and frogs that lay eggs and fertilize them outside the female's body do this type of fertilization. | External Fertilization |
| Mammals that deliver sperm into the body of the female and fertilize an egg inside the body do this type of fertilization. | Internal Fertilization |
| When two haploid cells join to create a new diploid cell it is this type of reproduction: | Sexual Reproduction |
| When one cell creates two new cells and pass all of it's chromosomes to the new cells it is this type of reproduction: | Asexual Reproduction |
| In order to create an egg or sperm cell this process must occur: | Meiosis |
