341223574Mitosis1 diploid parent cell produces 2 diploid daughter cells
341223575Meiosis1 diploid parent cell produces 4 haploid daughter cells provides variation of gametes
341223576Mitosis in Humansused for growth and wound repair
341223577Oogenesisdevelopment of egg
341223578Eggsnon-motile haploid large cells produces 4 haploid cells
341223579Spermatogenesisdevelopment of sperm
341223580Spermmotile haploid small
341223581AsexualVery quick and simple
341223582SexualProvides genetic variation within the species
341223583ComparisonGametes are haploid Body cells are diploid Zygotes are diploid
341223584Human ReproductionRegulated by genes and chemicals
341223585Fertilizationsperm plus egg
341223586CleavageRapid mitotic divisions
341223587Different genes are used in different cells...A person can have the same DNA in every cell in their body and have many types of cells produced
341223588Sequence of DevelopmentFertilization- cleavage- differentiation- growth
341223589Vas deferensTransfer gametes (sperm) to urethra
341223590TestesProduce sperm and testosterone
341223591TestosteroneRegulates male sexual reproductive cycle
341223592Pathway of SpermTestes- epididymis- vas deferens- urethra
341223593Pathway of S. into W.Vagina- cervix- uterus- oviduct
341223594OviductTransports gametes and best site of fertilization
341223595OvaryProduces and releases egg
341223596UterusEmbryo implantation and fetel development. Provides nutrition to developing fetus b/c it produces blood vessels which develop in the placenta
341223597HormonesRegulate menstrual cycle
341223598FSHSecreted by the pituitary gland stimulates follicle growth
341223599LHSecreted by the pituitary gland triggers the follicle to rupture and mature ovum to be released (ovulation)
341223600EstrogenOvarian hormone targets the uterus signaling growth of lining
341223601ProgesteroneOvarian hormone secreted by corpus luteum targets the uterus signaling shedding of the lining
341223602MenstruationTriggered by drop in progesterone, shedding of the uterine lining
341223603Embryonic DevelopmentFertilization- zygote- cleavage (mitosis)- differentiation- mitosis
341223604Zygote implantsin the uterine wall
341223605Placenta (from mother to fetus)Provides nutrition and o2 for the embryo
341223606Placenta (from fetus to mother)Wastes are removed from the developing fetus
341223607Factors that affect the fetusAlcohol, drugs, smoking, diet
341223608MarsupialsGive birth to underdeveloped young, offspring mature by feeding on mother's milk in her pouch
341223609External FertilizationUsually aquatic organisms; produce large number of eggs to make up for low survival rate
341223610AngiospermsFlower is the reproductive part
341223611PistilFemale part obtains the sticky stigma where pollen lands
341223612StamenMale part contains the anther where pollen is produced
341223613PollinationPollinator deposits pollen on stigma (pollen contains sperm)
341223614MorulaSolid ball of cells
341223615BlastrulaHollow ball of cells
341223616GastrulaCells are positioned in layers
