Sexual/Asexual repr
Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| via mitosis; increases population; creates clones | Asexual Reproduction |
| reproduce via asexual reproduction | Protists/ cnidarians |
| clonal reproduction; development of unfertilized egg into adult individual | Parthenogenesis |
| diploid; produced by fertilized eggs | Female Honeybee workers |
| haploid; produced by unfertilized eggs | Male Honeybee drones |
| reptiles; haploid eggs | Whiptails |
| mammals; female homozygous for sex chromosome (XX); males heterozygous (XY) | XY sex determinization |
| birds, some insects; females heterozygous (WZ); males homozygous (ZZ) | WZ sex determination |
| ten chromosome mammal; combination of XY and WZ system | Duck-billed Platypus |
| single organism containing both testes and ovaries; earthworms, tapeworms, snails | Hermaphrodites |
| aquatic animals; gametes shed into water; synchronized release | External Fertilization |
| some fishes and amphibians, all land animals; prevents dessication of gametes | Internal Fertilization |
| egg laying | Oviparity |
| egg retained and hatched inside mother; live-bearing of very small young; no extra nourishment from mother once egg is formed | Ovoviviparity |
| live-bearing; mother's blood nourishes developing embryo | Viviparity |
| structured to avoid dessication; surrounded by shell | Amniotic Egg |
| amniotic egg; immerses embryo | Amnion membrane |
| amniotic egg; controls permeability | Chorion membrane |
| amniotic egg; for wastes; grows out of hindgut | Allantois membrane |
| amniotic egg; encloses yolk; nourishes embryo | Yolk sac |
| egg-laying mammals; have mammary glands but no nipples; produce milk in skin depression; duck-billed platypus/echidna | Monotremes |
| pouched animals; young born relatively undeveloped, complete development in pouch; drink milk in pouch; kangaroos/opossums | Marsupials |
| embryo spends a long time in uterus; fetus fed by placenta; nutrients derived from mother's blood through close proximity of fetal and maternal blood vessels in placenta | Placental Mammals |
| feeds fetus in placental mammals; chorion of embryo + uterine lining | Placenta |
