survival of these developing zygotes. Internal Fertilisation * Animals that live or breed on land fertilise internally. * This keeps gametes inside the body so there is no chance of dehydration occurring * This occurs doing copulation or sexual intercourse. * The fertilised egg can be retained within the female and develop within or it may be enclosed in a shell such as the eggs of reptiles and birds. Methods of development * After fertilisation‚ a zygote can be expelled from the

Introduction to sexual reproduction in humans Reproduction is the process by which humans gives rise to new individuals. Sexual reproduction is the process that involves the fusion of two gametes‚ sperm (male gamete) and egg (female gamete). In human these gametes are produced in different sexes‚ the male and female. Reproduction in humans is performed by reproductive systems‚ the male and female reproductive systems. The main organs of male reproductive system are testis and gonads and of female

The mitochondria in our body has multiple important roles‚ such as regulating cellular movement ‚ making ATP‚ and converting the energy we get from food into energy that our body can use. When the mitochondria does not function properly‚ and the mtDNA: the mitochondria DNA has a mutation it can lead to severe and fatal diseases. A mutation in the mtDNA can cause certain organs with a high energy demand to stop working. MRT is implementing a new mitochondria into a women’s body by replacing the original

Belgian cytologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden discovered that the gametes of the roundworm Ascaris contained two chromosomes while somatic cells contained four. B. Fertilization 1. van Beneden proposed in 1887 that an egg and sperm could fuse to form a zygote. 2. The fusion of gametes is called fertilization or syngamy. C. Meiosis 1. A reduction division is required to reduce the number of chromosomes to half so sexual reproduction can occur. 2. This reduction division is known as meiosis. D. The

apparatus and contain digestive enzymes. Acrosomes are needed to break down the outer membrane of the egg‚ so that the two nucleuses’ can fuse together thus producing a zygote (fertilized egg).The mid piece holds the centriole and mitochondrion. The centriole is necessary for the first mitotic division of the zygote; this is where the zygote undergoes rapid cell division‚ producing a cluster of cells with no significant growth. The mitochondria is simply the energy centre or the cell‚ this is the power

Gametes are sex cells. Fertilisation is when half the genetic material comes from male gamete and half come from female gamete and they fuse together to form a zygote. Zygote is a fertilized egg. Embryo is a divided zygote. Binary Fission in Bacteria Bacteria are microscopic organisms made up of one cell and they do not have a nucleus but a loop of DNA. When bacteria‚ reproduce asexually the DNA loop is copied so that there is some for each new cell. The bacterial cell deivides into two by

reproductive organs. Sperm from a tapeworm will fertilize the egg--either from the same tapeworm or a different one. The proglottid containing the fertilized egg will break off from the body and burst to release the zygote. The zygote is then released through the feces of the host. Zygotes are then consumed by a new host--their primary host--‚ grow‚ burrow‚ form a cyst‚ and begin the process again.

Conception occurs when a single sperm cell from the male unites with an ovum (egg) in the females’ fallopian tube in process call fertilization. The fertilized egg is called a zygote. By the time the zygote ends its three to four day journey through the fallopian tube and reaches that uterus‚ it has divided into approximately 64 to 128 cells (Eisenberg‚ Murkoff‚ & Hathaway‚ 2002). The fetus is not immune from the outside world. In fact

INTRODUCTION “The human being… the most sophisticated‚ amazing and wondrous creation in this earth. If one would take a peek at what’s inside his human body‚ he’ll be amazed to see hundreds of bones‚ miles of blood vessels and trillions of cells‚ all working together so he could be healthy and in perfect shape. Each organ‚ each body part‚ each a miracle… Each a piece of evidence of God’s mighty providence.” This lesson familiarizes you with the principles and stages of human growth‚ maturation
