Reproduction Flashcards
1
Q
Asexual Reproduction
A
- no distinct sex organs; no formation of gametes.
- Eg fission, budding
2
Q
Sexual Reproduction
A
- requires meiosis to produce gametes (egg and sperm)
3
Q
Monoecious
A
- both male and female sex cells produced in one organism.
4
Q
Dioecious
A
- Male and female sex cells produced by 2 different organisms with specialized reproductive tissues.
5
Q
Formation Of Cocoon
A
- sperm from each worm is transported to the seminal receptacles of the other along seminal grooves
- After mutual copulation, each worm secretes a mucus tube and chitinous band to form a cocoon.
- Cocoon passes forward and eggs, albumin, and sperm are poured into it.
- Fertilization occurs in cocoon; cocoon slides off head end and closes.
6
Q
Syngamy
A
Fertilization of one gamete by another organism
7
Q
Autogamy
A
Fertilization of one gamete by the same organism
8
Q
Asexual Reproduction
A
- Genetically identical cells or individuals called clones.
9
Q
Binary Fission
A
- A form of cell division in which the genome replicates and then the cell divides in two (eg bacteria).
10
Q
Budding
A
- Is forming a bud or protrusion, on an organism that eventually breaks off to form a new organism that is smaller than its parent.
11
Q
Fragmentation
A
- Splitting of one organism into pieces, each of which develops into a new individual.
12
Q
Parthenogenesis
A
- females produce eggs that are not fertilized by males but divide by mitosis and develop into new individuals.
13
Q
The Life Cycle Of Aurelia Aurita
A
- Gonads within gastric pouches
- Fertilization is internal therefore Sperm must enter the gastric pouch
- Zygote develops in water or oral arms
- Scyphistoma: hydra like and can form buds of other polyps (asexual reproduction)
- Strobilation: formation of repeating saucer like buds – Strobilla
- Buds that break free are called ephyra
14
Q
Resting “Eggs”
A
▪Encapsulated embryos ▪Drought-resistent, hatching at specific cues
▪Survival through time and space (up to 40 years!)
15
Q
Phylum Rotifera: Reproduction (Male)
A
- Dioecious
- Males are unknown in many species
- Instead, they reproduce via parthenogenesis (reproduction without fertilization of egg by male gamete
- females produce diploid eggs by mitosis (no meiosis!)
- each egg develops into a diploid female (2n)
- Class Bdelloidea: exclusive asexual parthenogenesis – males never discovered
- In this case, eggs are amictic (a = not; mictos = mixed)
