341223574 | Mitosis | 1 diploid parent cell produces 2 diploid daughter cells | |
341223575 | Meiosis | 1 diploid parent cell produces 4 haploid daughter cells provides variation of gametes | |
341223576 | Mitosis in Humans | used for growth and wound repair | |
341223577 | Oogenesis | development of egg | |
341223578 | Eggs | non-motile haploid large cells produces 4 haploid cells | |
341223579 | Spermatogenesis | development of sperm | |
341223580 | Sperm | motile haploid small | |
341223581 | Asexual | Very quick and simple | |
341223582 | Sexual | Provides genetic variation within the species | |
341223583 | Comparison | Gametes are haploid Body cells are diploid Zygotes are diploid | |
341223584 | Human Reproduction | Regulated by genes and chemicals | |
341223585 | Fertilization | sperm plus egg | |
341223586 | Cleavage | Rapid mitotic divisions | |
341223587 | Different 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 | |
341223588 | Sequence of Development | Fertilization- cleavage- differentiation- growth | |
341223589 | Vas deferens | Transfer gametes (sperm) to urethra | |
341223590 | Testes | Produce sperm and testosterone | |
341223591 | Testosterone | Regulates male sexual reproductive cycle | |
341223592 | Pathway of Sperm | Testes- epididymis- vas deferens- urethra | |
341223593 | Pathway of S. into W. | Vagina- cervix- uterus- oviduct | |
341223594 | Oviduct | Transports gametes and best site of fertilization | |
341223595 | Ovary | Produces and releases egg | |
341223596 | Uterus | Embryo implantation and fetel development. Provides nutrition to developing fetus b/c it produces blood vessels which develop in the placenta | |
341223597 | Hormones | Regulate menstrual cycle | |
341223598 | FSH | Secreted by the pituitary gland stimulates follicle growth | |
341223599 | LH | Secreted by the pituitary gland triggers the follicle to rupture and mature ovum to be released (ovulation) | |
341223600 | Estrogen | Ovarian hormone targets the uterus signaling growth of lining | |
341223601 | Progesterone | Ovarian hormone secreted by corpus luteum targets the uterus signaling shedding of the lining | |
341223602 | Menstruation | Triggered by drop in progesterone, shedding of the uterine lining | |
341223603 | Embryonic Development | Fertilization- zygote- cleavage (mitosis)- differentiation- mitosis | |
341223604 | Zygote implants | in the uterine wall | |
341223605 | Placenta (from mother to fetus) | Provides nutrition and o2 for the embryo | |
341223606 | Placenta (from fetus to mother) | Wastes are removed from the developing fetus | |
341223607 | Factors that affect the fetus | Alcohol, drugs, smoking, diet | |
341223608 | Marsupials | Give birth to underdeveloped young, offspring mature by feeding on mother's milk in her pouch | |
341223609 | External Fertilization | Usually aquatic organisms; produce large number of eggs to make up for low survival rate | |
341223610 | Angiosperms | Flower is the reproductive part | |
341223611 | Pistil | Female part obtains the sticky stigma where pollen lands | |
341223612 | Stamen | Male part contains the anther where pollen is produced | |
341223613 | Pollination | Pollinator deposits pollen on stigma (pollen contains sperm) | |
341223614 | Morula | Solid ball of cells | |
341223615 | Blastrula | Hollow ball of cells | |
341223616 | Gastrula | Cells are positioned in layers |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
