Reproduction Flashcards
Sperm provides
one centriole
haploid set of DNA
Acrosome head
releases hydrolytic enzymes that puncture jelly coat
acrosomal process conencts to receptors and signals the egg to being the two steps to prevent polysperms
actin filaments as parts of acrosomal process
Fast block to polyspermy
ion channels open, allow sodium into cytoplasm from external material, polarizes egg to repel any sperm for 1 minute until calcium wave is finished
Slow Block to Polyspermy
Calcium wave
release calcium ions from the point the actin filament made contact with the jelly coat
fusion of cortical vessicles
water rushes in and creates space that becomes envellope
PERMANENT
ACTIVATES EGG
Cleavage
early stage of development that increases the amount of DNA to expedite the begining of cellular processses
same volume
BLASTOME
Blastula
result of cleavage
Blastome
individual cell in blastula
blasteoul
fluid filled center in the blastula
