Anatomy
This part of the biological male reproductive system holds mature sperm.
Testis (testicles)
Which hormone do the testis produce?
Testosterone
STEM cells become specific types of cells like skin cells, heart cells, brain cells, through the process of ________
Differentiation/Specialization
On average, how long is the menstrual cycle?
Approximately 28 days
How many parents are needed for asexual reproduction?
1
This is the part where a mature egg is released into, for fertilization
Fallopian Tubes
When do womens' estrogen levels start to increase?
Around 8 years old
When does a heartbeat occur in pregnancy?
About 5-6 weeks
Which stage releases a mature egg from an ovary?
Ovulation
Name an advantage and disadvantage of sexual reproduction
Advantage: Increases genetic variety (species has more variety = higher change species will survive)
Disadvantage: Takes longer to produce offspring. Cannot produce as many offspring as asexual reproduction.
This part carries mature sperm from the testis to the urethra
Vas Deferens
What is the difference between progesterone and estrogen?
Estrogen is the hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle while progesterone is the hormone that supports pregnancy.
Name 2 things that a mother can do that will harm the development of a baby?
Smoke, drink alcohol, drugs, malnutrition, using chemicals like pesticides
Menstruation: The uterine lining sheds and the unfertilized egg is released
How do the daughter cells of mitosis and meiosis differ genetically?
Meiosis produces genetically different daughter cells
This is where the egg gets implanted after it is fertilized
Uterus
When estrogen levels are high, FSH levels lower. This is an example of.....
Negative Feedback
What are the consequences when a pregnant mother smokes, consumes alcohol, etc.?
Underweight baby, drug addicted baby, delayed cognitive abilities
When would the menstrual cycle temporarily stop?
During pregnancy
How many daughter cells does mitosis and meiosis each produce?
Mitosis = 2
Meiosis = 4
This structure allows for the diffusion (exchange) of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide & transfers nutrients to the baby
Placenta
Which gland is also responsible for producing biological female reproductive hormones such as FSH & LH?
Pituitary Gland
How many trimesters of birth are there and about how long does each last?
3; each about 12-14 weeks
When does the menstrual cycle permanently stop?
