Animal Reproduction Intro, Unifying Feature of Animal Repro. Flashcards
Two Types of Reproduction
-Sexual Reproduction
-Asexual Reproduction
_____ is the creation of new individuals from existing ones.
Reproduction
_____ creates offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Asexual Reproduction
Enumerate Four types of Asexual Reproduction.
-Budding
-Fission
-Fragmentation
-Regeneration
The type of asexual reproduction that produces offspring by the outgrowth and eventual splitting off of a new individual from the parent.
Budding
This is an asexual process where a parent separates into two or more offspring of about equal size.
Fission
This is an asexual process where the parent body breaks into several pieces.
Fragmentation
The type of asexual reproduction that typically follows after fragmentation and is the regrowth of a whole animal from the pieces.
Regeneration
It is the fusion of Gametes (Sperm and Egg) from two parents, then the formation of a zygote happens.
Sexual Reproduction
_____ are individuals with male and female reproductive systems.
Hermaphrodites
It is the study of the development of the embryo.
Embryology
What are the 5 major stages of Embryology.
-Gametogenesis (Gamete Production)
-Fertilization (Gamete - Zygote)
-Cleavage (Zygote - Blastula)
-Gastrulation (Blastula - Gastrula)
-Organogenesis (Organ Formation)
-i.e. Neurulation- (Gastrula - Neurula)
Produces gametes, haploid cells, by meiosis.
Gametogenesis.
-Is the formation of sperm cells.
-Occurs in seminiferous tubules inside the testes.
-Primary spermatocytes are diploid cells that undergo meiosis and produce secondary spermatocytes.
Spermatogenesis
Is the development of eggs within the ovaries.
Oogenesis
What does Meiosis I Produce:
-Secondary Oocyte
-Polar Body
What does Meiosis II Produce:
-A mature Ovum
-A polar Body
