Q

What happens in some species where the parthenogentic reproduction requires sexual behavior?

A

Females may act as males depending on cyclical hormonal states (estrogen and progesterone)
The sexual activity stimulates the release of the egg

21
Q

After germ cells have migrated into female gonads, what happens?

A

They undergo mitosis to produce oogonia

22
Q

What happens to diploid spermatogonia and oogonia?

A

They multiply by mitosis to produce primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes

23
Q

What is the next step in gametogenesis after the formation of spermatocytes and oocytes?

A

Meiosis- reduces chromosomes (haploid cells)

These cells mature into sperm and ova

24
Q

During spermatogenesis, what does the first and second meiotic division produce?

A

Two secondary spermatocytes

Four haploid spermatids

25
Q

During division of primary spermatocytes, what are the offspring connected by?

A

Cytoplasmic bridges

26
Q

What happens to spermatids?

A

They differentiate into sperm

27
Q

What is the first step in oogensis?

A

The female germ cell divides by mitosis to form oogonia and then primary oocytes

28
Q

What happens to the primary oocyte?

A

It immediately begins prophase I of meiosis

29
Q

What happens after prophase I of meiosis?

A

Development stops in many species

30
Q

What happens after development of the primary oocyte stops?

A

It grows larger and acquires nutrients

31
Q

What happens when meiosis resumes?

A

The nucleus of the oocyte divides into two daughter cells of unequal size

32
Q

What is the name of the two unequal daughter cells produced by the meiotic division of the primary oocyte?

A 
Secondary oocyte (larger cytoplasm)
First polar body (smaller one)
33
Q

What happens to the secondary oocyte?

A

It continues with meiosis to form a haploid ootid which differentiates into a mature ovum
And a second polar body which degenerates

34
Q

What is fertilisation?

A

The union of a haploid sperm and a haploid egg to create a diploid zygote

35
Q

What are the 6 steps in fertilisation?

A
  • Recognition of sperm and egg
  • Activation of sperm
  • Plasma membranes fuse
  • Additional sperm entry blocked
  • Activation of egg
  • Egg and sperm nuclei fuse
36
Q

How are interactions between sperm and eggs mediated?

A

Specific recognition molecules

37
Q

What do specific recognition molecules ensure?

A

The sperm goes towards the egg

The egg isn’t fertilised by the wrong species

38
Q

Where is it particularly important eggs aren’t fertilised by the wrong species?

A

Aquatic organisms where sperm and eggs are released to surroundings

39
Q

What adaptation do sea urchins have to make sure fertilisation occurs correctly?

A

Chemical attractants to increase sperm mobility are species specific
Protective layers

40
Q

What two protective layers must sperm pass to get to the egg in marine animals such as sea Urchins?

A

A jelly coat

Vitelline envelope

41
Q

What is an the membrane enclosed structure on the sperm head?

A

The acrosome

42
Q

What happens when egg and sperm make contact?

A

Substances in the jelly coat trigger an acrosomal reaction

43
Q

What happens during the acrosomal reaction?

A

Membranes in the sperm head and acrosome break down, enzymes are released and digest the jelly coat

44
Q

After a hole has been digested in the jelly coat, what happens?

A

Actin is polymerized, the acrosomal process extends down from the head of the sperm

45
Q

What is the acrosomal process coated with?

A

Bindin

A specific recognition molecule

46
Q

Why is the acrosomal process coated with bindin?

A

Bindin reacts with bindin receptors in the vitelline envelope

47
Q

What happens after bindin binds to bindin receptors?

A

Sperm and egg membranes fuse to form a fertilisation cone.

48
Q

Internal fertilisation involves…

A

Specieis specific mating behaviors and egg sperm recognition molecules

49
Q

What is the mammalian egg surrounded by?

A

Cumulus- cells in a gelatinous matrix

50
Q

What is beneath the cumulus?

A

The zona pellucida- a glycoprotein envelope functionally similar to the vitilline envelope

51
Q

What happens once sperm has fused and entered an egg cell?

A

Polyspermy is blocked

Mechanisms prevent entry of more than one sperm to an egg
