Hermaphroditism

A

An individual animal produces both male and female gametes

Any two individuals can mate under this system, and in some species, hermaphrodites can also self-fertilize

Q

The cost of sexual reproduction: sexual vs asexual

A

Sexual reproduction is the creation of an offspring by fusion of haploid gametes, male sperm and female eggs, to form a diploid zygote.

Sexual females have half as many daughters as asexual females; this is the “twofold cost” of sexual reproduction.

Despite this, almost all eukaryotic species reproduce sexually.

Q

The advantage of sexual reproduction

A

● Sexual reproduction may enhance reproductive success of parents when environmental factors change relatively rapidly.
● This is due to their production of genetically varied offspring.
● Asexual reproduction is expected to be most advantageous in stable, favorable environments.

Q

Spermatogenesis

A

the formation of sperm, is continuous and prolific.
● Hundreds of millions of sperm are produced per day; each sperm takes about 7 weeks to develop.

Q

Oogenesis

A

the development of a mature egg, is a
prolonged process.
● Immature eggs form in the female embryo but do not complete their development until years or decades later.

24
Q

Spermatogenesis versus oogenesis

A

Spermatogenesis differs from oogenesis in three ways:
● All four products of meiosis develop into sperm, while only one of the four becomes an egg.
● Spermatogenesis occurs throughout adolescence and adulthood.
● Sperm are produced continuously without the prolonged interruptions in oogenesis.

25
Q

Fertilization

A

● Formation of a diploid (2n) zygote
from a haploid egg and sperm
● Depends on mechanisms that
bring together sperm and eggs of
the same species
● Two types
○ External fertilization
○ Internal fertilization

26
Q

External fertilization

A

● Eggs shed by the female are fertilized by sperm in the external environment.
● A moist habitat is required
○ allow sperm to swim to the egg
○ to prevent the gametes from drying out.

27
Q

Coordination

A

Timing is crucial to ensure that mature sperm and eggs encounter one another.
● Some species with external fertilization exhibit spawning, in which individuals cluster in the same area to release their gametes into the water at the same time.
● In some cases, chemical signals trigger spawning;
in others, environmental cues are responsible.
○ “courtship” behaviors leading to the fertilization of the
eggs of one female by one male

28
Q

Internal fertilization

A

● An adaptation - enables sperm to reach an egg despite a dry external environment.
● Requirements
○ Behavioral interactions
○ Compatible copulatory organs.
● Mating animals may make use of pheromones, chemicals released by one organism that influence the physiology and behavior of individuals of the same species

31
Q

what is the Acrosomal Reaction

A

the moment a sperm head contacts the egg
surface, molecules in the jelly coat trigger the
acrosomal reaction in the sperm.

● The Cortical Reaction

Model organism: Sea urchin fertilization

32
Q

The acrosomal reaction ex

A

● Discharge of hydrolytic enzymes from the acrosome
● Digest the jelly coat, enabling a sperm structure called the acrosomal process to form, elongate, and penetrate the coat.
● Molecules and events at the egg surface play a crucial role in each step of fertilization:
○ Sperm penetrate the protective layer around the egg.
○ Receptors on the egg surface bind to molecules on
the sperm surface.

33
Q

Polyspermy

A

the entry of multiple sperm nuclei into the egg

changes in the egg surface prevents this

34
Q

The acrosomal and cortical reactions during sea urchin fertilization

A

slide 33

35
Q

Cortical reactions

A

Sperm binding triggers a
cortical reaction,
● Depolarisation of
membrane - fast block
● the release of enzymes
from cortical granules to
the outside of the cell.
● catalyze changes in the
zona pellucida,
● slow block to
polyspermy. (No fast
block to polyspermy is
known in mammals.)

36
Q

Fast block

A

immediately but temporarily blocks additional sperm from fertilizing the egg

37
Q

Slow block

A

gradually establishes a permanent barrier to sperm entry

38
Q

Changes in the uterus

A

define the menstrual cycle (also called the uterine cycle)

39
Q

Changes in the ovaries

A

define the ovarian cycle

40
Q

The reproductive cycles of the human female
part 1: FSH and LH levels

A

slide 37

41
Q

Ovarian cycle and hormones

A

slide 38

When estradiol secretion by the follicle begins to rise steeply, FSH and LH levels increase markedly.

The maturing follicle enlarges to form a bulge at the surface of the ovary.

The follicular phase ends at ovulation, and the
secondary oocyte is released.

The luteal phase follows ovulation.

42
Q

Uterine cycle and hormones

A

slide 40

43
Q

Anterior pituitary hormones

A

slide 41, 42, 43

  1. The ovarian cycle begins when the hypothalamus releases GnRH.
  2. The GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete small amounts of FSH and LH.
  3. FSH stimulates follicle growth, aided by LH
  4. The follicles start to make estradiol
44
Q

The uterine cycle

A

Hormones coordinate the uterine cycle with
the ovarian cycle:
● Thickening of the endometrium during the
proliferative phase coordinates with the follicular phase.
● Secretion of nutrients during the secretory phase coordinates with the luteal phase.
● Shedding of the endometrium during the
menstrual flow phase coordinates with the growth of new ovarian follicles.
