Answer 3

Asexual Reproduction

Question 4

A type of asexual reproduction involving the division of the body into two or more equal parts. Usually in single celled organisms.

Answer 4

Binary Fission

Question 5

A type of asexual reproduction where a new individual arises as an outgrowth (bud) from its parent, develops organs like those of the parent and detaches itself.

Answer 5

Budding

Answer 6

Fragmentation

Production of gametes via meiosis.

Answer 15

Gametogenesis

Question 16

-Results in a unicellular diploid zygote.

Answer 17

Implantation

Question 18

Formation of germ layers (Ecto, Endo, Meso).

Answer 18

Question 19

Carrying of the embryo inside the female reproductive tract, specifically the uterus; can last up to 9 months in humans.

Answer 19

Gestation

Question 20

-Formation 4 membranes that supports, protects and nourish the embryo (yolk sac, allantois, amnion and chorion)
-Development of placenta.
-Organ formation.

Answer 20

Embryonic Stage

Question 21

Extends from the beginning of the ninth week after fertilization to about 38 weeks after fertilization.

Answer 21

Fetal Stage

Question 22

Releasing hormone (GnRH ) stimulates the releasing of 2 hormones:
1. Luteinizing Hormone
2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone

Answer 22

Gonadotropin

Question 23

The Pituitary Gland secretes 2 gonadotropic hormones:

Answer 23

1. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
2. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Question 24

Male: Causes the testes to produce sperm.
Female: Causes the growth of an ovarian follicle and it causes the follicle cells to secrete estrogen.

Answer 24

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Question 25

Male: Causes the testes to secrete testosterone.
Female: Causes ovulation and it causes to secrete progesterone.

Answer 25

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Question 26

-A monthly occurrence in female and it has an average span of 28 days.
-Process that prepares woman for pregnancy.

Answer 26

Menstrual Cycle

Question 27

4 Phases of Menstrual Cycle

Answer 27

1. Menstrual Phase
2. Follicular phase
3. Ovulation Phase
4. Luteal Phase

Question 28

Part of the menstrual cycle of the uterus; also known as the “period”; corresponds to the early part of the follicular phase of the ovaries (days 1-5) when endometrium degenerates and sloughs off, producing the menstrual discharge.

Answer 28

Menstrual Phase (Day 1-5)

Question 29

-Part of the menstrual cycle of the ovary in humans where the follicles begin to mature.
-Lining of the uterus becomes thin after bleeding.

Answer 29

Follicular Phase

Question 30

When a mature egg is released from an ovary and moves along a fallopian tubes towards the uterus.

Answer 30

Ovulation Phase (Day 14)

Question 31

-Part of the menstrual cycle of the ovary after the oocytes are released from the follicles.
-The remains of the follicle become the corpus luteum, which then secretes progesterone.
-It stimulates the uterus to undergo final maturational changes that prepare it for gestation to house and nourish an embryo.

Answer 31

Luteal Phase (Day 15-28)

Question 32

Process that blocks any one of the following stages of reproduction in humans:
