Chapter 3: Animal Reproduction
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Asexual Reproduction | reproduction without meiosis occurring |
| 3 types of asexual reproduction | Budding, Fission, fragmentation |
| budding | an outgrowth or ingrowth of the body wall to form a new individual. |
| Fission | separation into two equal parts to form a new individual. |
| Fragmentation | Fragmentation followed by regeneration |
| Sexual Reproduction | Formation of gametes by meiosis followed by fertilization to form a zygote. |
| Zygote | a fertilized egg cell |
| Parthenogenesis (False + origin} | Development of an egg without fertilization; the diploid egg is produced by mitosis and hatches and develops into a female. |
| Examples of parthenogenesis | some invertebrates and some reptiles |
| Gametogenesis (Gamete + origin) | The formation of spermatozoa. Meiosis and Mitosis occur to form four functional spermatozoa from a spermatogonium cell. |
| Oogenesis (Ovum + origin) | the formation of the ovum or egg. Meiosis and mitosis occur to form only one functional ovum from an oogonium cell. |
| Fertilization | The union or fusion of the egg cell and sperm cell to form a zygote; the process restores the diploid number of chromosomes. |
| Modes of fertilization | External and Internal Fertilization |
| External Fertilization | the eggs and sperm are fertilized outside the body |
| Examples of external fertilization | most invertebrates, fishes, and some amphibians |
| Internal Fertilization | the eggs and sperm are fertilized inside the body |
| Examples of internal fertilization | most vertebrates |
