Unit XVII: Reproduction Creating more organisms
2
A. Asexual Reproduction 1. ________ and _____________ 2. Forms of Asexual Reproduction a) _____________________ - basically another name for mitosis - used by many ___________ __________
3
b) ________________ - _________________________ - yeast and hydra c) _________________ - making spores – like a seed but _________________ to the parent - ________________________
4
d) _______________________ - ability of an organism to ________ lost body parts - ability decreases as the organisms become more complex
5
e) ______________________ - asexual reproduction in plants 1) _______ 2) _______ 3) _______ 4) _______ 5) _______ 6) _______
6
f) __________ - exact genetic copy ADVANTAGES FOR ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION?
7
B. Sexual Reproduction 1. Advantages for Sexual Reproduction - _________ allows for adaptation to new environments - _________ - _________________ 2. ______ and ___________ - _______ ________ __________________ 3. _______________ - _______________________ - ______________ - formation __________

4. Development - Development is the process by which the zygote becomes the organism - ________ _______ _____________________ a) Embryo Development 1) ________ Mitotic cell division to make more cells - cells don’t grow between divisions - forms morula = solid ball of cells - cells migrate to form a hollow ball of cells = ______________
9
2) ____________ – cells grow between divisions - cells on one side move in and form different cell layers - Cell layers = germ layers – become different parts of the organism _______________________________ - cells constantly communicate with each other to help direct the process of development and differentiation
11
5. Human Reproduction a) Male Reproductive System _______ – male gonads; make _________ and ___________ 100,000s of sperm produced _______ – sac that holds testes outside the body wall Sperm production and storage has to be at a __________ ___________ than the body
12
Epididymis – storage area for sperm _____________ – tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra Urethra – tube through the penis in which sperm are ejaculated Semen = mixture of sperm ad fluids
13
b) Female Reproductive System ____________ – female gonads, produce estrogen and egg cells Produces 1 egg cell per month ____________ = release of the egg from the ovary
14
____________________ – tube leading from the ovary to the uterus the _______________________________________ _____________ – thick muscular walled organ where implantation of the egg takes place the fertilized egg will grow and develop here Birth Canal = Vagina – site where sperm are deposited
15
c) Menstrual Cycle - hormone controlled process by which the egg develops and is released - the brain and ovary secrete 4 different hormones to control the cycle
16
1) Follicle Stage pituitary secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes the egg to develop in the ovary also cause the ovary to produce estrogen estrogen causes the uterine lining to thicken with tissue 2) Ovulation high levels of estrogen causes the pituitary to stop secreting FSH and to begin secreting luteinizing hormone LH high levels of LH cause the ovary to release the egg (usually occurs in the middle of the cycle) 3) Corpus Luteum the release of the egg from the ovary causes the ovary to secrete progesterone (pregnancy hormone) progesterone helps maintain the uterine lining 4) Menstruation only if the egg is not fertilized – secretions of LH and progesterone decrease and the uterine lining is shed from the body with the unfertilized egg
17
d) Human Development 1)________________________ sperm deposited in the vagina and swim up the uterus to the ________________________ One sperm fertilizes the egg _______________________ Twins 2) _________________________ as the fertilized egg travels down the Fallopian tubes it goes through cleavage upon reaching the uterus the egg fastens itself to the uterine lining and begins pregnancy ectopic pregnancy _________________________
18
3) Differentiation – Cell Specialization - Growth A – ________________ site where mother and fetus _________________________ ______ – blood does not cross between mother and fetus B – __________________ rope like tube that carries the nutrients and wastes to and from the fetus C – _________________ D – _________________ surrounded by the chorion (membrane) helps protect the fetus and keep it stable
19
4) Fetal Nourishment Substances in the mother’s blood pass to the fetus ___________________ ____________________________ 5) Birth ________ = length of pregnancy – 40 weeks (9 mon.) labor = muscular contractions of the uterus premature birth cesarian section 6) __________________________________

C. Sexual Reproduction in Plants A) Flower Structure Flower – specialized leaf-like structures designed for pollination PERFECT FLOWER 1) ____________ male reproductive part of the flower a) anther = top of stamen where pollen are produced b) ______ – thick walled particles that contain monoploid nuclei (usually 2 nuclei) c) filament = stalk to project the anther
21
2) ____________ female reproductive part of the flower a) Stigma – sticky surface to catch and hold pollen grains b) Style - a fleshy tube that connects the stigma to the ovary c) _________ – contains ovules; becomes the ____ d)_______ – eggs; become the ________
22
B) ________________ - pollination is the process by which mature pollen grains attach to the stigma and burrow through the style to fertilize the ovule 2) Fertilization Multiple pollen nuclei make their way to the ovules Pollen (n) + Ovule (n) = embryo (2n) seed Pollen + Ovule (2n) = endosperm (3n) Endosperm = food for the embryo 1) Self Pollination vs. Cross Pollination
23
C) Seed Structure - Hypocotyl roots - Epicotyl stem & leaves - Cotyledons – nutrients for the developing plant - Germination = “seed hatching”
