Animal Reproduction and Development

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Asexual reproduction   Production of genes from one individual. Many invertebrates, like sponges and flatworms. Good for animals that can't move around to look for mate. Also for moving animals population is low and they can't find a mate.  
🗑
Sexual reproduction   Involves production and fusion of gametes and fertilization. New animal is similar to both parents but not identical.  
🗑
Parthenogenesis -- asexual   Unfertilized egg develops into an adult animal. Adult usually haploid. Common in insects.  
🗑
External fertilization -- sexual   Practiced by many aquatic animals. Gametes meet outside the body. Eggs and sperm usually released into water at the same time.  
🗑
Internal fertilization -- sexual   Practiced by most terrestrial animals. male delivers sperm cells directly into body of female and gametes fuse in her body.  
🗑
Spermatogenesis   meiosis produces gametes in seminiferous tubuler  
🗑
Placenta   Formed by membranes of embryo and uterine tissue. Organ of exchange between mother and embryo.  
🗑
Oogenesis   Production of female gametes by meiosis, process of ovum production that starts in the overies.  
🗑
Ovulation   Marks the release of the secondary oocyte from the follicle  
🗑
Fragmentation -- asexual   The ability to regenerate as a method of reproduction. The parent's body breaks into several pecies and each peice regenerates the missing parts and becomes a new animal. Animals like sea stars and flatworms.  
🗑
Hermaphroditism -- sexual   A form of sexual reproduction in which a single individual produces both eggs and sperm.  
🗑
Budding -- asexual   Animals like sponges can reproduce when a small part of the parents body separates and develops into a new individual.  
🗑
Spermatogenesis   Process of sperm cell production in the gonads  
🗑
Seminiferous tubles   Hollow tubules in the testis where spermatogenesis takes place  
🗑
Testoterone   The main male sex hormone (androgen)  
🗑
Primary sex characteristics   Testoterone produces growth of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis  
🗑
Secondary sex characteristics   Testosterone stimulates growth of facial and body hair, muscle development, increase in vocal cord length  
🗑
Estrogen   Female sex hormone  
🗑
Fertilization   Fusion of sperm and egg.  
🗑
Ovulation   Marks release of secondary oocyte from the follicle.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
