Q

Ovulation process

A
Follicles developed
Follicle moves to surface and Burst
Ovulation occurs
Follicle -> yellow body
Yellow body degenerates when no fertilization

A

1-5 Uterine lining break down -> Menstruation
5-14 Follicle develops. Uterine lining thicken
14 Ovulation
14-28 Uterine lining continues to thicken

Q

Before fertilization
Sperm route
How do most sperms die

A

Through cervix, uterus, oviduct

Q

Fertilization

A
Sperms meets ovum in oviduct
Enzymes from acrosome digest jelly coat
Sperm's head enter cytoplasm
Ovum becomes impermeable
Nucleus fuses
Zygote forms

Q

Implantation

A

Zygote transport towards uterus by beating action of cilia, peristalsis of oviduct.
Zygote undergoes mitotic cell division -> Embryo
Embryo implants into uterine lining

Q

Placenta structure
Why not mix
Usage

A

Umbillical arteries ×2 -> deoxygenated blood
Umbillical vein ×1 -> oxygenated blood

High pressure from mother damaging embryo
Blood group incompatibility

Exchange of materials
Antibodies diffuses in embryo
Barrier to harful substance
Secretes hormone maintain thickness

16
Q

Twins
Types
How

A

Identical
One embryo to two

Fracternal
Two ova fertilized same time

17
Q

Labour

A

Dilation - Cervix dilates, Amnion breaks, acts as lubricant
Expulsion of foetus - push out
Expulsion of placenta

18
Q

Contraception

How

A

Revent ovulation - contraceptive pills, patches, injections

Prevent sperms meets ova - Rhythm method, Condom, Diaphragm
Vasectomy, Tubal ligation

Prevent implantation - intrauterine device

19
Q

Pollination
2 types
2 types

A

Self-pollination
Cross-pollinatiom - greater variety

Insect pollinated
Wind pollinated

20
Q

Insect pollination Wind pollimation

Difference ×6 fields

A

Petals:
Large, brightly coloured, Nectar guides
Reduced, green, dull coloured

Scent:
Present
Absent

Nectaries:
Present
Absent

Anthers:
Inside flowers, firmly attached
Outside flower, loosely attched

Pollen grains;
Large rough sticky spikey, less
Light dry smooth, more

Stigmas:
Inside flower, sticky
Outside, feathery and long

21
Q

Fertillization - flowering plant

A

Pollen grains lands on stigma
Sugary solution -> Gernmination of Pollen Tube
Pollen tube grows down style, digest with enzyme
To ovule, to micropyle, tip burst to release male gametes
Gametes fuses -> Zygote

22
Q

Reproduction main steps

A
Ovulation
Copulation
Fertilization
Implantation
Amnion
Placenta
Labour
23
Q

After fertilization -> flower fruit

A
Stamen, petal, sepal - withers, fall off
Ovary wall - fruit wall
Interguments - seed coat
Ovule - seed
Ovum - embryo
Style stigma remains - scar
24
Q

Fruit uses

A

Dispersion

Protection

25
Q

Dispersion ways ×4

A

Wind
Animal
Water
Explosion

26
Q

Importance of seed dispersal ×3

A

Reduce overcrowding and competition
Colonize new areas
Escape from pests

27
Q

Asexual sexual advantages disadvabtages

A

Asexual:
Retain desirable traits
Fast

No genetic variation, less adapted
Overcrowding, competition
Transmission

Sexual:
Genetic Variation - adapt
Avoid competition, overcrowding
Escape pests

Desirable trait may not pass on
Slow
