Q

Reproductive System

A

AN ORGAN SYSTEM
The organs and glands in the body that aid in the production of new individuals.
For males, it’s just semen.

16
Q

Open-Circulatory System

A

Blood is pumped by a heart into the body cavities, where tissues are surrounded by the blood.

16
Q

Closed-Circulatory System

A

Blood is pumped by a heart through vessels, and does not normally fill body cavities.

17
Q

Sexual Reproduction

A

Repopulation by two individuals.

18
Q

Asexual Reproduction

A

It only takes a single organism.

19
Q

Types of Asexual Reproduction (3)

A
  1. Binary Fission
  2. Fragmentation
  3. Budding
20
Q

Homologous Chromosomes

A

Chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location.

21
Q

Zygote

A

a DIPLOID cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes.

22
Q

Gamete

A

A mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.

23
Q

Haploid

A

Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes.

24
Q

Diploid

A

containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

25
Q
Circulatory Systems (3)
and define
A

Hydra- They are small, solitary and only exist in the polyp form.

Insects- Any small air-breathing arthropod of the class Insecta.

Earthworm- A tube-shaped, segmented worm found in the phylum Annelida.

26
Q

Function of Meiosis

A

It is the stage of the life cycle when a cell gives rise to two haploid cells (gametes) each having half as many chromosomes.

27
Q

Gametes are

Haploid or Diploid????

A

HAPLOID MOTHER FUCKER

28
Q

WHAT is formed when two gametes fuse??

A

Fusion

Like in sexual reproduction, the cells fuse

29
Q

Advantage of sexual reproduction?

A

Human evolution, due to different genes forming together

30
Q

Methods of birth control

A
Pill
IUD
BC shot
Condom
Diaphragm
