Reproduction and Development

QuestionAnswer
What is the creation of new individuals from existing ones? Reproduction
Reproduction with genetic recombination sexually
Reproduction without genetic modification asexually
What is the name for when one parent produces genetically identical offspring? Asexual Reproduction
What is the simplest type of asexual reproduction? Binary Fission
Involves a single parent cell dividing into two genetically identical offspring cells Binary Fission
Some multicellular animals reproduce similar to binary fission in which one organism splits into two or more individuals called what? Fission
What is the breaking of a parent body into several pieces? Fragmentation
What follows fragmentation, and is the regrowth of a whole animal from the pieces? Regeneration
What is the splitting off of new individuals from existing ones? Budding
Allows species to perpetuate itself even if its individual members are isolated from one another and it allows them to multiply quickly. Asexual Reproduction
What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction? genetically uniform population
What involves the fusion of haploid gametes(sperm and egg), typically from two parents, to form a diploid offspring? Sexual Reproduction
What increases the genetic variability among offspring? Sexual Reproduction
can some animals reproduce sexually and asexually? yea
What is the name for a species with both female and male reproductive systems? Hermaphrodite
What plays an important role in sexual reproduction? mechanics of fertilization
Many organisms use what type of fertilization where they release their gametes into the water to fertilize? External
What is the name for sexual intercourse and is required for internal fertilization? Copulation
What produces gametes? Gonads
What stores and delivers the gametes? Ducts
What are the site of gamete production in human females? Ovaries
What three things do both sexes have in common? Gonads, Ducts, and sexual structures
What contains follicles? Ovaries
What produces estrogen and consists of a single egg cell surrounded by layers of cells that nourish and protect it? Follicles
What is the process by which an egg cell is ejected from the follicle? Ovulation
What is the name where the egg enters, and is a tube in which the cilia sweep the egg towards the uterus? Oviduct
What is the actual site of pregnancy? Uterus
What is the narrow neck at the bottom of the uterus, opens into the vagina, or birth canal? Cervix
During copulation what serves as the repository for sperm? The vagina
What contains erectile tissue? Penis
Are male gonads, enclosed in a sac called scrotum and they produce sperm? Testes
Several of what contribute to the formation of the fluid that carries, nourishes, and protects sperm? glands
What consists of fluid and sperm? Semen
When is sperm production optimized at? temperatures below body temp
What is the production of gametes? Gametogenesis
Human gametes are haploid cells that develop by what? Meiosis
How many different forms of gametogensis are there? two
What is the development of eggs within the ovaries? Oogenesis
Primary oocyte is present when? At birth
Only one mature what can be fertilized? Gamete
What are the two forms of gametogensis? Oogenesis and Spermatogenesis
What is the formation of sperm cells? Spermatogenesis
What two reproductive cycles to females have? Ovarion cycle and Menstrual Cycle
What cycle controls the growth and release of an egg? ovarion cycle
What cycle prepares the uterus for possible implantation of an embryo? Menstrual cycle
What synchronizes cyclical changes in the ovaries and uterus? Hormones
What are two issues of human reproductive health? Contraception and transmission of disease
What is the deliberate prevention of pregnancy? Contraception
How are STDs caused by bacteria, protozoans, and fungi cured? drugs
What begins with fertilization, the union of sperm and egg to form a zygote? Embryonic Development
What releases millions of sperm into the vagina but only a few hundred will survive the trip and only one will fertilize the egg? Copulation
What is a jelly layer in all organisms? zona Pellucida
What is the key to development in all organisms? Each stage takes place in a highly organized fashion
What part of the sperm is the acrosome containing enzymes? the tip of the head
Where on the sperm does it contain mitochondria? The middle
Which part of the sperm is the nucleus containing chromosomes? Middle of the head
What is the name of a series of rapid cell divisions that result in a multicellular ball? Cleavage
In humans, cleavage continues as the embryo moves down the oviduct towards where? Uterus
After how many days after fertilization does the embryo reach the uterus as a fluid filled hollow ball of about 100 cells? six or seven days
What is the name of the fluid filled hollow ball of about 100 cells that reaches the uterus? Blastocyst
The next stage of development that is a process that produces the three embryonic tissue layers. Gastrulation
The process where one group of cells influences the development of an adjacent group of cells induction
A process that kills selected cells (cell death) Apoptosis
What is the carrying of developing young within the female reproductive tract? pregnancy or gestation
How long is pregnancy/gestation from the last menstrual cycle in humans? forty weeks
The early stages of human development begin with what? Fertilization and cleavage
About how long after conception does the embryo which has become a blastocyst, implant itself in the uterine wall? one week
The outer cell wall, the trophoblast, becomes part of what? The placenta
What are the four structures that assist the developing embryo? Amnion, Yolk, Allantois, and chorion
A fluid filled sac that encloses and protects the embryo Amnion
A sac which produces the embryo's first blood and gamete-forming cells Yolk
Forms part of the umbilican cord Allantois
Becomes part of the placenta Chorion
Pregnancy is divided into how many trimesters? three
When does the fetus look like a mini human being? end of first trimester
