Asexual and Sexual Reproduction 3/Gametogenesis and Fertilization
100
A weakly active thyroid hormone that contains iodine and helps regulate metabolic rate; it is converted by cells into the more active triiodothyronine (T3).
What is thyroxine (T4)
100
A hormone found in animals that stimulates the processes of glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the synthesis of ketones in the liver.
What is glucagon
100
The generation of offspring by sexual or asexual means.
What is reproduction
100
A form of asexual reproduction in which a complete organism forms from small fragments of its body.
What is regeneration
100
A diploid cell formed by the fusion of two haploid gametes.
What is zygote
200
A thyroid hormone that contains iodine and helps regulate metabolic rate.
What is triiodothryonine (T3
200
A hormone found in animals that regulates metabolism in several ways, primarily by regulating the blood glucose concentration.
What is insulin
200
A reproductive strategy that occurs when offspring are produced from a single parent, without the fusion of gametes from two parents. The offspring are therefore clones of the parent.
What is asexual reproduction
200
An asexual process in which an offspring develops from an unfertilized egg.
What is parthenogenesis
200
The early stages of development in a multicellular organism during which the organization of the organism is largely formed.
What is embryo
300
An overgrown thyroid gland that is incapable of making thyroid hormone due to a lack of dietary iodine.
What is iodine-deficient goiter
300
A steroid hormone made by the adrenal cortex.
What is cortisol
300
A process that requires a fertilization event in which two gametes unite to produce a cell called a zygote.
What is sexual Reproduction
300
Refers to a male gamete that is generally smaller than the female gamete (egg).
What is sperm
300
The testes in males and the ovaries in females, where the gametes are formed.
What is gonads
400
A gland in which epithelial cells secrete chemicals into a duct, which carries those molecules directly to another structure or to the outside surface of the body.
What is exocrine gland
400
The absence of sufficient insulin
What is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)
400
A haploid cell that is involved with sexual reproduction, such as a sperm or egg cell.
What is gamete
400
The mature female gamete
What is egg cell or ovum (pl. ova)
400
The formation of gametes.
What is gametogenesis
500
Spherical clusters of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the pancreas; the cells secrete insulin or glucagon, among other hormones.
What is islets of Langerhans
500
The cells of the body lose their ability to respond to insulin
What is Type Two Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
500
A form of asexual reproduction in which a portion of the parent organism pinches off to form a complete new individual.
What is budding
500
The union of two gametes, such as an egg cell with a sperm cell, to form a zygote.
What is fertilization
500
In animals, a diploid germ cell that gives rise to the male gametes, the sperm.
