Animal Reproduction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Asexual reproduction | Offspring production is “cloning” – they produce offspring that are genetically identical to themselves |
| Sexual Reproduction | Offspring production to comes from production of gametes by meiosis. Offspring is genetically different. |
| Budding | Offspring forms on or within a parent and eventually breaks free to live on its own |
| Fission | And individual splits into two identical individuals by mitosis |
| Parthenogenesis | Females produce eggs by mitosis and the resultant offspring are genetically identical to them |
| Oviparous | Animals that lay eggs |
| Viviparous | Animals that bear live young |
| Amniotic Egg | The fetus is enveloped in a series of membranes |
| Monotremes | The class of animals including duck-billed platapus and the spiny echidna that lay eggs |
| Marsupials | Give live birth to young that then live in pouches |
| Placental mammals | Animals that give birth to live young that develop in the mothers uterus |
| Gonad | Gamete-producing structure |
| Testis | The male gonad |
| Spermatogenesis | The process by which spermatozoa are formed |
| Seminiferous tubules | Where immature sperm develop |
| Epididymis | Where sperm mature |
| Erection | Male arousal involving a stiffening of the penis |
| Vas Deferens | Where spermatozoa is mixed with secretions of several accessory glands |
| Urethra | What carries sperm from the male to the female reproductive tract |
| Prostate Glands | Prevents urinary tract infection in males |
| Seminal Vesicles | Source of chemical energy for sperm movements |
| Bulbourethral Gland | Lubricates tip of penis and neutralizes acids in urethra |
| Ovary | The female gonad which produces ova by oogenesis |
| Oogenesis | The production of ova |
| Oocytes | Immature ova |
| Follicles | Fluid filled sacs where oocytes develop |
| Graafian follicle | A mature follicle containing an oocyte ready to be ovulated |
| Ovulaiton | When a Graafian follicle ruptures and delivers the oocyteto the oviduct |
| Oviduct | Uterine tube |
| Corpus Luteum | A ruptured follicle |
| Menstration | When the oocyte and corpus luteum both disintegrate if tfertilizatoin does not occur |
| Labia majora and labia minora | Female external genitalia |
| Cervic | An opening in the base of the uterus |
| Endometrium | Where the zygotes travels and implants on the highly vascular inner lining |
| Placenta | A structure that connects the vascular system of the mother and the fetus |
| Parturition | Dilation of the cervix followed by delivery of the infant and the placenta |
| Embryonic Development | Process where animals undergo cell division, differentiation, and morphogenesis |
| Cell division | Where a single cell gives rise to many cells through the process of mitosis |
| Differentiation | Cells become specialized into different tissues |
| Morphogenesis | When the embryo begins to take shape |
| Cleavage | A period as a result of fertilization marked by rapid cell |
| Morula | Solid base of cells |
| Blastula | When the morula develops a fluid-filled center |
| Blastocoel | The fluid filled center of the blastula |
| Gastrulation | When the blastula invaginates to form a two-layered gastrula |
| Ectoderm | The outside layer of the gastrula |
| Endoderm | The inside layer of the gastrula |
| Mesoderm | The middle layer of the gastrula that forms after the endo/ectoderms |
| Organogeneis | The process by which all organs are formed |
| Notochord | The first “backbone” in vertebrates |
| Neural tube | The embryo’s pre-cursor to the central nervous system |
| Life stages | Stages of metamorphosis (such as larvae and adult) |
| Metamorphosis | The process of “growing” into various life stages |
| Tadpoles | The stage directly after eggs for many frogs |
| Metamorph | When an animal sprouts limbs and moves onto land |
