A

Another old bacterial disease. This one causes painful urination in men, and pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

A

A growth factor which division no growth of epidermal tissue

A

Crossing over.

Mechanism that promotes genetic diversity.

74
Q

Independent assortment

A

Chromosomes randomly moving into daughter cells.

Mechanism that promotes genetic diversity.

75
Q

Symaptonemal complex

A

When homologous chromosomes align at the metaphase plate in meiosis 1. This complex could promote crossing over.

Mechanism that promotes genetic diversity.

76
Q

Parthenogenesis

A

I.e. Reptiles. When a female fertilizes her own eggs, resulting in no genetic diversity.

77
Q

Sertoli cells or nurse cells and the production of sperm

A

They are found in the wall of the seminiferous tubule.
They nurse developing sperm cells.
They secrete nutrients and molecules necessary for sperm production.
They convert spermatids into spermatozoa by engulfing their extra cytoplasm.

78
Q

The corpus leuteum

A

Of the follicle begins to produce estrogen shortly after the 21st day of the cycle. This secretion inhibits LH and FSH secretion and triggers the atrophy of the corpus leuteum.

79
Q

Hybridization

A

Pollinating by hand with a paint brush or Q-tip.

What Mendal did with the pea plants. Pollinating them by hand.

80
Q
