Human Biology Stage 2B Revision – Test 1 Chapter 10 – Production of Gametes Gonads: Are the primary sex organs Secondary sex organs: Everything else‚ e.g. Seminal Vesicles Males Spermatozoa (sperm): Male gametes Scrotum: Single pouch of skin‚ divided into two sacs internally Lobules: Compartments filled with fine tubes called seminiferous tubules Seminiferous tubules: Fine tubes lined with cells that produce the male gametes. They eventually join together to form a short straight tubule

is invovled. Mitosis is a process by which a cell divides to form two daughter cells. They each have the same exact number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis occurs in the primary sex cells leading to the formation of viable egg and sperm cells. They reduce the number of chromosomes to half in each gamete so that when they are getting furtilized‚ the species chromosome number is kept even. Mitosis happens in the reproduction of unicellular organisms and in the addition of cells

surrogacy options‚ one is traditional surrogacy and the other is gestational surrogacy. A traditional surrogate is a woman who donates her own egg and then carries the pregnancy. The surrogate’s egg is fertilized through artificial insemination with the sperm of the father or a sperm donor. Traditional surrogates are genetically related to the child because their own eggs are used in the process. A gestational surrogate or also known as a gestational carrier‚ are not biologically or genetically related to

GSD/EST/OBA/11 METHODS OF BIRTH CONTROL INTRODUCTION 1. A sexually active woman that is fertile and capable of becoming pregnant needs to ask herself‚ “Do I want to become pregnant now?" if her answer is "No”‚ she must use at least a method of birth control.

turtles are capable of storing sperm inside of them for extended periods‚ and it is necessary for some turtle species in order to ensure fertilization. In most turtle species‚ gamete maturation does not occur at the same time of the year; male gametes typically mature in the fall‚ and the female ovulation typically occurs in the spring time (1). Sperm storage allows females to be inseminated in the fall‚ hibernate for winter‚ and then successfully produce a cloth of eggs in the spring‚ with no need

How do the large numbers of eggs and sperm produced relate to the frog’s fitness for life? A male frog’s testes are attached to its kidneys. This is where the sperm travels to the uterus. Sperm is released through the cloaca onto the female’s eggs. The female’s ovaries are directly beside the kidneys. The eggs are passed down through the two oviducts and out the cloaca. Fitness is the genetic contribution of an individual

ANIMAL Sperm cells PLANT Xylem cells are specialised to find a female cell (egg cells) and join with it. They have tails‚ that makes them move in water to find and fertilize the female cell. They can move because they have many mitochondria located between the tail and the head‚ which gives them energy. In the head‚ there is a vacuole filled with acrosome‚ which is a specialized Lysosome that releases enzymes in order for the Sperm Cell to break into the Egg Cell‚ through the outer egg coat
