chapter 51 Flashcards
What is sexual reproduction?
The production of a new individual by joining two parents’ gametes (haploid reproductive cells)
what is asexual reproduction?
-Offspring are produced from a single parent
-Offspring are genetically identical to the parent
what are 3 forms of asexual reproduction?
Budding, Regeneration, Parthenogenesis
what is budding?
Portion of parent pinches off to form complete new individual
what is regeneration?
Complete organism formed from a fragment of parent’s body
what is Parthenogenesis?
-Development of offspring from unfertilized eggs
-Some animals can reproduce sexually or parthenogentically
where are gametes formed ?
in Gonads
What results in spermatogonia and oogonia?(2n)
When germ cells multiple by mitosis
these are gametes.
What happens to Spermatogonia ?
multiple again by mitosis to produce primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes
What happens after production primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes?
they undergo meiosis I and II to form haploid gametes
what is Spermatogenesis ?
the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
what occurs during Spermatogenesis?
-Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to produce 2 haploid secondary spermatocytes
-Undergo meiosis II to produce 4 haploid spermatids
-Eventually develop into sperm
-One cell becomes four gametes
Sperm has head (with acrosome), midpiece, and tail
what is oogenesis ?
in the human female reproductive system, growth process in which the primary egg cell (or ovum) becomes a mature ovum.
what is male genitalia ?
consists of penis and scrotum
what is the scrotum?
holds testes where sperm develop at a temperature 2 celsius lower than core body temperature
