Question
Answer
Describe asexual reproduction   single parent has offspring that is genetically identical  
🗑
How does an animal bud?   parent organism pinches off and forms new organism  
🗑
What is fragmentation in animals?   part of the organism breaks off and develops into an individual that is identical to the original  
🗑
Describe sexual reproduction   2 parents unite to produce offspring that have both of their traits  
🗑
The female parent sex cell is?   egg  
🗑
The male parent cell is?   sperm  
🗑
Explain the difference between zygotel and embryo   zygote is when egg becomes fertilized by sperm; embryo is when zygote implants itself into uterus.  
🗑
What is fertilization and where does it typically occur in humans   Fertilization is when the egg & sperm unite and become a new life - typically occurs in the fallopian tubes  
🗑
Describe the differences between external and internal fertilization   external fertilization takes place outside the bodies of the parents; internal fertilization takes place inside female's body  
🗑
Give examples of advantages of external fertilization   can produce a large amount of offspring to ensure population continues to survive; more genetic variation  
🗑
Give examples of advantages of internal fertilization   better protects the developing baby; greater chance for successful fertilization  
🗑
List the three types of mammal reproductive types   monotremes, marsupial, and placental mammal  
🗑
What are monotremes? Give an example of one.   Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs. Example: duck bill platypus  
🗑
What are marsupials? Give and example of a couple of them   Marsupials are mammals that give birth to partially developed live young, then those live young stay in the moms pouch to further develop, Examples: kangaroo, oppossum  
🗑
What are placental mammals? Give an example of three of them.   Placental mammals have their young develop inside of them until time for birth. Examples: humans, cows, dogs  
🗑
List three major parts of the male reproductive system   testes, epididymus, vans deferens, penis  
🗑
Where in the male reproductive system are sperm formed?   testes  
🗑
Where in the male reproductive system are sperm matured?   epididymus  
🗑
How does sperm leave the testicles?   Through the vans deferens to the urethra and then out  
🗑
List four major parts of the female reproductive system   ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina  
🗑
Where in the female reproductive system are eggs formed and released?   ovaries  
🗑
What is the process called when eggs are released?   ovulation  
🗑
How does the egg reach the uterus?   It goes from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes to the uterus  
🗑
What is the purpose of the uterus?   It is the place where an embryo forms into a baby until it is ready to be born  
🗑
The cycle in the female that develops a new egg every 28 days   menstrual cycle  
🗑
Explain the difference between fraternal and identical twins   fraternal - two eggs are fertilized at one time/ babies will not necessarily look like each other; identical twins - develop from a single fertilized egg/ babies will be the same sex and most likely look very much like each other  
🗑
What are STD's?   Sexually transmitted diseases like HIV, AIDS, chlamydia, genital herpes, etc  
🗑
Give two examples of cancer in the reproductive system of males   testicular, prostate  
🗑
Give two examples of cancer in the reproductive systems of females   ovarian, cervical, breast  
🗑
If a male or female can not produce offspring they are called?   sterile/ known as infertility  
🗑
When a zygotes embeds into the uterus this is called?   implantation  
🗑
The placenta provides what?   Oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and carries away wastes produced by the fetus  
🗑
What attaches the placenta to the fetus?   the umbilical cord  
🗑
Explain the differences between an embryo and a fetus   embryo - once zygote implants in uterus then it is an embryo until about week 10 then it becomes a fetus.  
🗑
What surrounds the embryo during pregnancy that protects the embryo?   amniotic fluid  
🗑
At what number of days, weeks and months does a pregnancy last?   270 days, 40 weeks, 9 months  
🗑
Describe an infant and at what age does it occur?   newborn to toddler - 0 to 2 years  
🗑
Describe a child and at what age does it occur   toddler to puberty; 2 thru 9-16  
🗑
Describe adolescence and what age does it occur   boys - between 11 and 16, voice changes become more muscular, grow more hair, girls - between 9 and 14, get more curvy, breasts grow, etc  
🗑
Describe the age of adult hood   young adulthood - ages 20 thru 0 - at top physical peak; after 30 changes happen due to aging; middle age 40-65; older adult - 65 andup  
🗑
At what age do most individuals start to reach their peak in age?   between 20 and 30  
🗑
