Term
what 2 factors are produced for sexual reproduction?
Definition
eggs and sperm
gametes
Term
what is the term defining the size difference between an egg and sperm?
Definition
Anisogamous - "not the same gametes"
universal phenomenon
Term
what are the 3 types of reproduction? who does the third type?
Definition
asexual
sexual
parthenogenesis - rotifera, whip-tailed lizards, some fish
Term
what is the cycle involving diploid and haploid for plants called?
Definition
alternation of generations
Term
what are the 2 types of flowers? what are the 2 specific types of the 2nd kind?
Definition
perfect and imperfect
1. m & f parts on different flower
2. m & f parts on different plant
Term
what are the male parts of the flower? female?
Definition
male = stamen
anter - top
filament - stalk

female = carpel
stigma - top
style - stalk
ovary - bottom
Term
how many pollen sacs are there in lilies?
Definition
4
Term
what is the original male diploid cell called? female?
Definition
microspore mother cell
megaspore mother cell
Term
what is the gametogenesis process for male plants?
Definition
1 pollen grain in diploid microspore mother cell form undergoes meiosis 1 and 2 creating 4 haploid microspore cells called a tetrad. Each of these cells undergoes mitosis 1 time to form 2 more and then one of those undergoes mitosis again to form another cell. These then become a triploid 3 nucleated sperm cell.
Term
what is the gametogenesis process for female plants?
Definition
1 ovule, or megaspore mother cell, undergoes meiosis 1 and 2 and forms 4 megaspore cells. 3 of these cells reabsorb and 1 of them undergoes mitosis 3x creating 1 2n cell and 6 n cells. 5 of the 6 single nucleated cells reabsorb, leaving only an n center cell and a 2n big cell.
Term
what does the outside of a pollen grain form? how is it unique? what are people actually allergic to?
Definition
forms thick protective protein coat
specific to each species
allergic to protein coat
Term
what is the definition of pollination?
Definition
the arrival of pollen grains on stigma of same species
Term
what 2 things are animals enticed to flowers by?
Definition
nectar (sweet) and pollen (protein)
Term
where does female plant gametogenesis occur?
Definition
ovules that are attached to the inner wall of ovaries
Term
how does plant fertilization occur?
Definition
pollen grain lands on stigma
one of the nuclei forms a pollen tube down the style and into the ovary
the other 2 nuclei travel down the pollen tube, one uniting with the n center cell and creating a 2n zygote, the other uniting with the 2n large cell, eventually becoming the endosperm
Term
what forms the seed coat?
Definition
outer cells of ovarian wall
Term
what is the seed coat made of?
Definition
starch and protein
Term
what 2 animals don't move?
Definition
barnacle and porifera
Term
what is external fertilization? who? advantages? environment?
Definition
fertilization occurs outside of body
fish and amphibians
easier to reproduce/more offspring
environment must be isotonic to gametes
Term
what is internal fertilization? who? advantages? environment?
Definition
fertilization inside the body
terrestrial verts, mollusks, arthropods, endoparasites
Term
what animal has the longest penis?
Definition
barnacle
25x body length
Term
what produces the seminal fluid?
Definition
accessory glands (prostate in humans)
Term
what reproductive structures do many invertebrates have?
Definition
seminal vessicles (male) and receptacles (female)
Term
what is it called when there are different animals for the different sexes?
Definition
gonochoristic
Term
what kind of penis does a crawfish have?
Definition
bifurcated penes
Term
what denotes a female grasshopper?
Definition
jaws of death on butt - ovipositor
Term
where are the reproductive organs of an earthworm?
Definition
seminal receptacles at front (female)
seminal vesicles at back (male)
Term
what do the testes contain that produce sperm?
Definition
seminiferous tubules
Term
what are the stages of sperm creation in an animal?
Definition
1 parent cell undergoes meiosis 1 to create 2 secondary spermatocytes, 2 spermatocytes undergo meiosis 2 to create 4 early spermatids. early spermatids develop a head and a tail to become sperm
Term
what cells create testosterone?
Definition
interstitial cells called Leydig cells in between seminiferous tubules of testes
Term
what are the 4 purposes of seminal fluid?
Definition
lubrication
protection from acidity of vagina
nutrition
mobility/swimming
Term
what is the process of oogenesis in female animals?
Definition
primary oocyte (2n) - eggs stay in this stage until onset of puberty. puberty causes meiosis 1 and the onset of meiosis 2, creating a secondary oocyte (n) and a polar body (n) that is reabsorbed. When the sperm meets the egg, meiosis 2 completes and a second polar body is created (n). polar body is again reabsorbed by main body. when the sperm reaches the egg, it becomes an ovum which will later become a zygote
