Part H: Lecture 17 Flashcards
mechanisms for sexual reproduction/alternating between haploid & diploid in eukaryotes
1)mating types
2)male and female parts
3)male and female individuals
mating types: organisms
most unicellular eukaryotes (ex. yeast & tetrahymena)
mating types: yeast
a & α
mating types: tetrahymena
seven mating types (roman numerals)
mating types: mechanism (yeast)
alleles of MAT gene determines mating types (MAT-a & MAT-α)
male and female parts: organisms
very common in plants, some animal organisms
(ex. corn & earthworms)
earthworms sexual reproduction mechanism
-don’t come in male/female, they produce both eggs and sperm
-need earthworms to mate
-two earthworms exchange sperm for fertilization (can’t self fertilize)
male and female parts: mechanism
organogenesis (process by which embryonic cells become male and female organs)
male and female individuals: organisms
most animals and some plants (ex. squirrels and holly trees)
holly trees that have fruit
female holly trees (fertilized by pollen from male holly trees)
male and female individuals: mechanism
sex determination (process by which individuals become either male or female)
