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
What are the 4 reproductive hormones that biological females produce?
Estrogen, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), & Progesterone
What is the name of the process where the zygote/embryo go through mitosis and create more cells?
Cleavage
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
Where is estrogen produce? What is its main function?
Produced by the ovaries. Causes the uterine lining to thicken. At high levels, it causes the body to stop producing FSH.
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
What is amniocentesis?
When a doctor removes a sample of the fluid surrounding the developing baby and checks for any abnormalities
When does the menstrual cycle permanently stop?
Menopause
If rabbits have 20 chromosomes in their somatic cells, how many chromosomes are in their gametes?
Are the gametes diploid or haploid?
10 (half the amount) and they are haploid
