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  
🗑

🗑
Blastula   When the morula develops a fluid-filled center  
🗑

🗑
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  
🗑
