REPRODUCTION Flashcards
(Sexual vs Asexual, Types of Asexual Reproduction, Development of Sexually-produced organism, AReproduction, Reproductive Cycle, Contraceptions, ART)
Asexual reproduction
offspring by a single parent, inherits dna from one parent, requires less energy than sexual reproduction
Types of asexual reproduction
binary fission, spore forming, budding, fragmentation with generation
Production of gametes and fertilization occuring in the life cycle of the organism
Sexual reproduction
Homologous chromosomes
same length, centromere position, and staining pattern
How many pairs of chromosomes do humans have
23, 22 autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosome
how many chromosomes do humans have
46 (23 pairs*2)
all cells in the body except gametes
somatic cells
genetic variation from sexual reproduction
- independent assortment of chromosomes
- random fertilization
- crossing over
Asexual reproduction in which egg develops without being fertilized
parthogenesis
Development of sexually produced organisms
- gametogenesis
- fertilization
- cleavage
- gastrulation
- organogenesis
- growth
- senescence
gametogenesis in males and females
- spermatogenesis
- oogenesis
union of sperm and egg cell that form a zygote
fertilization
contains enzyme that help the sperm penetrate an egg
acrosome or acrosome cap
from unicellular zygote to multicellular blastula
cleavage
hollow ball of cells what what is the cell called in each of it
blastula, blastomeres
creation of 3 germ layers from blastula
gastrulation, 3 germ layers are called gastrula
3 germ layers
- ectoderm (skin)
- endoderm (stomach)
- mesoderm (blood)
organ formation via organizing centers
organogenesis
groups of cells that control the fates of other cells
organizing centers
growth
pregnancy (human averages 266 days, 38 weeks or 40 weeks from the start of the last menstrual cycle)
how are twins formed
fraternal (dizygotic)
identical (monozygotic)
death of organism
senescence
production of genetically identical copy or clone of an organism or a gene
cloning
do clones occur naturally?
yes, asexual reproduction
