Ch 2 Reproduction Flashcards
Interphase consists of
G1, S, G2
Chromosome may be used to refer to
A single chromatid before s phase, or pair of chromatids after s phase
S stage
Cell replicates genetic material so each daughter cell will have identical copies
Diploid vs haploid
2 copies of each chromosome vs 1 copy of each chromosome
P53
Main protein controlling interphase checkpoints
Homologues are
Chromosomes that are given the same number, but are of opposite parental origin
Meiosis 1 vs 2
Meiosis 1 goes from diploid germ cell to 2 haploid daughter cells - homologous chromosomes pulled apart. Meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart, resulting in 4 gametes
Sex linked is
X linked
Sperm origin to ejaculation (seven up)
Seminiferous tubules (in testes) - epididymis- vas deferens - ejaculatory duct - urethra - penis
Sperm nourished by
Sertoli cells in testes
Interstitial cells of leydig
In testes, secrete androgens incl testosterone
Seminal fluid is produced by
Semifinal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands
Spermatogenesis
Formation of haploid sperm. Spermatogonia (2n) - (after s phase) primary spermatocytes (2n)- (after meiosis 1) secondary spermatocytes (n)- (after meiosis 2) spermatids - spermatozoa
Egg travel anatomy
Immature ova (eggs) located in ovaries - one egg per month is ovulated into fallopian tube - uterus
Oogenesis
Primary oocyte (2n, arrested in prophase 1) - (after meiosis 1) secondary oocyte (n) - arrested in metaphase 2 until fertilization - mature ovum
All oogonia a female will have are formed __. By birth, all oogonia have undergone __
During feel development, dna replication (s phase)
Sexual development hormonal control
Inc GnRH in hypothalamus - inc FSH and LH in AP
Ovaries produce
Estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen and progesterone affect on endometrium
Estrogen establishes and progesterone protects the endometrium
Menstrual cycle definition
Growth and shedding of endometrial lining, due to the rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone
Menstrual cycle phase
Follicular, ovulation, luteal, menstruation
Follicular phase
Period occurs due to shedding of uterine lining of previous cycle. Low estrogen and progesterone to start this phase - this causes GnRH to inc, which causes LH and FSH to inc, which causes ovarian follicle development - which inc estrogen
