Reproduction and Development I (Animals) Flashcards
It is the process by which organisms replicate themselves.
Reproduction
two modes of animal reproduction
sexual and asexual
new individuals are generated without the fusion of egg and sperm
asexual reproduction
Types of Asexual Reproduction
Binary fission
Budding
Sporogenesis
Fragmentation
Parthenogenesis
It is the fusion of haploid gametes to form a diploid cell, the zygote
Sexual Reproduction
For most asexual animals, reproduction relies entirely on ________.
mitotic cell division
The animal that develops from a zygote can in turn give rise to gametes by ______.
meiosis
Most animals exhibit cycles in reproductive activity, often related to _________. These cycles are controlled by _______, whose secretion in turn is regulated by __________.
changing seasons, hormones, environmental cues
both the male and female gametes are produced by the same individual. Examples are Tunicates and Earthworms.
Hermaphroditic/Monoecious
having male reproductive organs in one individual and female in another
Dioecious
The production of gametes, sperm and egg cells, and takes place through the process of ______
meiosis
Each type of gamete have its own process of reproduction, namely;
spermatogenesis and oogenesis
It is where the spermatozoa from spermatogenesis, fuse with the oocyte that is created from oogenesis and creates a zygote.
Fertilization
Immediately after the fusion of the two gametes, the zygote would undergo rapid cell divisions which characterize this stage of development
Cleavage Stage
Four stages in Cleavage
Fertilized egg
Four-cell stage
Early blastula
Later blastula
