Module 9 Flashcards
cells from only one individual produce the offspring
Asexual Reproduction
asexual reproduction in which a female can produce an embryo without fertilizing an egg with sperm
Parthenogenesis
when animals can break body parts off or be cut in half, then regenerate the missing
portion of the body
Fragmentation
is done via the fusing of two complementary haploid cells, to produce a diploid zygote.
Sexual Reproduction
is what humans do and is when the fusion of gametes occur within the body
internal Fertiliation
the sperm
and egg fuse outside of the
organisms.
External Fertilization
is an organism that has both male and female sex organs fully developed.
Hermaphrodite
is when your genetics determine which gametes are produced (like humans).
- Genotypic sex determination
Some plants, insects, and fungi can have sex with themselves. This is called
selfing
- Produces and stores fluid, that mixes
with sperm
Seminal-Vesicle
adds more fluid and contracts
during ejaculation.
Prostate Gland
refers to the distal end of the penis and is
extremely sensitive.
Glans Penis
the production of mature sperm capable of fertilizing an egg
Spermatogenesis
is where developing embryos mature.
Uterus
is a separate opening for urination.
Urethra
