fertilization Flashcards
internal fertilization
inside body mostly on land fewer eggs still many sperm ex land animals, Sharks, lobsters
external fertilization
outside body
in water
many egg many sperm, lack of protection
ex. fish and amphibians
parthenogenesis
development of an unfertilized egg into and adult
ex some insects
external development in water
fish and amphibians, yolk in egg source of food, O2 diffuses in from water, waste diffuse out, little of no parental care, survival rate is low
external development on land
yolk is a source of food, better survival rate, fewer eggs, birds and reptiles
internal development
involves growth of embryo within the body of the parent, high survival rate
internal placenta
umbilical cord: connects fetus to placenta
placenta: organ rich in blood vessels of mother and embryo, attached to the wall of the uterus, allows movement of nutrients oxygen and carbon dioxide by diffusion and active transport
internal non placenta
marsupials: pouched mammals
internal development without placenta attachment , embryo gets food from yolk in egg, born before development is complete, completes development in pouch on outside, mammary glands are source of nutrients in pouch
ex kangaroos
fish
external fertilization, external development, lots of eggs, no parental care
amphibians
external fertilization, external development, lots of eggs, no parental care
reptiles
internal fertilization, external development, many eggs, some parental care
birds
internal fertilization, external development, few eggs, much parental care
mammals
internal fertilization, internal development, few eggs, most parental care
