Q

What will the male produce in sexual intercourse?

A

Sperm

18
Q

What does the word menstrual cycle mean?

A

Monthly

19
Q

What occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle?

A

Ovulation occurs, an egg is released

20
Q

What happens if fertilisation doesn’t occur in the female?

A

Lining of the uterus is lost

21
Q

What happens from day 0 - 5 in the menstrual cycle?

A

Lining breaks down

22
Q

What happens from day 5 - 12 in the menstrual cycle?

A

Lining builds back up and an egg is released

23
Q

What happens from day 12 - 21 in the menstrual cycle?

A

The lining is maintained

24
Q

Name the hormones in a female for reproduction?

A

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Oestrogen
Luteinising hormone (LH)
Progesterone

25
Q

What does the Follicle stimulating hormone do and where is it made?

A

Pituitary gland –> makes eggs mature in the ovary

26
Q

What does Oestrogen do and where is it made?

A

Ovary –> causes uterus lining to thicken

27
Q

What does the Luteinising hormone do and where is it made?

A

Pituitary gland –> Causes egg to be released

28
Q

What does Progesterone do and where is it made?

A

Ovary –> keeps the lining thick maintaining it

29
Q

Name all the adaptation of the placenta? ( 4 points)

A
  • A large surface area between it and the uterus wall.
  • Villi which further increase the surface area of the
    placenta.
  • A good blood supply.
  • Thin wall for a short diffusion distance
30
Q

Adaptations of sperm? (3 points)

A
  • A tail to move them towards an egg cell.
  • Many mitochondria to release energy for movement.
  • Part of the tip of the head of the sperm releases enzymes
    to digest the egg membrane to allow fertilisation to take
    place.
31

32
Q

How many chromosomes does a Haploid cell have?

33
Q

How many cells are created by mitosis?

A

2 daughter cells

34
Q

How do the daughter cells after mitosis compare to their parent cells?

A

They are genetically identical

35
Q

How many chromosomes do the daughter cells have in mitosis?

A

46 chromosomes

36
Q

What is mitosis used for?

A

Replacement, repair and growth

37
Q

How many times does the parent cell divide in mitosis?

A

Once

38
Q

What is the use of meiosis?

A

To produce sex cells

39
Q

How many time do the parent cells divide in meiosis?

A

Twice

40
Q

How do the daughter cells after meiosis compare to their parent cells?

A

Genetically unidentical

41
Q

What cells does meiosis make?

A

Haploid cells
–> Sperm (Male gamete)
–> Egg (Female gamete)
–> Pollen
