22
Q

The sperm

A

The sperms swims up into uterus and into the Fallopian tube

23
Q

Fertillsation

A

If an egg is present in the tube and a couple have sexual intercourse then one of the sperm cells may fuse with it

24
Q

Fertilised egg

A

The nuclei of the sperm and egg fuse together the women would be pregnant

25
Zygote-embryo- foetus
Zygote goes to a embryo and after 8 weeks it goes to a foetus
26
Implantation
When the embryo attaches to the lining of the lining of the uterus
27
Length pregnancy
The average length of pregnancy is 40 weeks
28
Amniotic fluid
As the embryo develops in the uterus it is protected inside a bag of fluid and provides a cushion for the embryo
29
Umbilical cord
A tube joining the embryo to the placenta
30
Placenta
Is rich in blood cells
31
Labour
The birth of a baby begins when the uterus muscles start to contract
32
Water breaks
The bag of amniotic fluid bursts and further contractions begin
33
Family planning
To control the number of children you have u need to control the number of times fertility takes place
34
Condom
Prevents sperm entering the vagina
35
Contractive pill
Prevent ovulation
36
Reliability
They are all not 100% accurate all the time
37
Genetics
The study of characteristics
38
Inheritable characters
Many physical characteristics such as eye colour and shape of ears of ears were inherited form your parents
39
Chromosomes
The nucleus of each sex cell ( gamete) contain 23 thread like structures called chromosomes
40
Genes
Chemicals found chromosomes that pass on info form parents to children
41
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
42
46 chromosomes
When an egg and sperm cells fuse ( each has 23 chromosomes ) they give the individual they are creating 46 chromosomes
43
Homozygous
When two things match each other like eyes
44
Hetrozygous
When allies are different to each other
45
Dominent
So when a genetic dominates the other like eye colour
46
Recessive
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes which are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents.
47
Biodiversity
There are many different types of living things
48
Fossils
The remains of very ancient living things
49
Extinct
Some living things disappear
50
Natural selection
How things variety of living thing may have arisen the most widely accepted explanation based on evidence on the theory of evaluation by natural selection
51
Species
A group of living things that can reproduce it self to reproduce an offspring which themselves can reproduce
52
Mutation
A change in gene
53
Evolution
The process by which different kinds of living things that develop from earlier forms of living things develop from earlier forms by genetics changes over a long period of time
54
Adaptation
A characteristic that helps an organism to survive and reproduce
