• the fallopian tube serves as the site of fertilization
• damage to the temperal lobe of the brain affects hearing
• a full-term pregnancy last approximately 9 months
• allopatric speciation occurs when a population is separated by a physical barrier, leading to the formation of two distinct population
• genetic drift leads to the formation of species through the accumulation of genetic changes over time
• spermatogenesis involves the formation of mature sperm cells from spermatids
• The placenta serves as the lifeline between the mother and the developing fetus
• the primary function of the male reproductive system is the production, maintenance and delivery of sperm cells
• estrogen is primarily responsible for the development of the female secondary sexual characteristics and the regulations of the menstrual cycle
• the epididymis is responsible for storing mature sperm until ejaculation
• difficulty in forming new memories is primarily associated with damge to the hippocampus
• hyperthyroidism leads to an increase in basal metabolic rate
• seminiferous tubules function in the production of seminal fluids
• the crucial components of the male reproductive system are the testes and prostate gland
• oxytocin contributes to childbirth and breastfeeding by stimulating contractions during labor and milk ejection during breastfeeding
• damage to the occipital lobe of the brain affects vision
• low levels in parathyroid hormone result in a decrease in blood calcium levels
• maternal diet significantly influences the development of the fetus
• overproduction of growth hormone during adulthood leads to acromegaly
• population decline occurs when a population exceeds its carrying capacity
• convergent evolution describes the process by which species evolve similar traits independently in response to similar environmental challenges
• cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex
• the cervix serves as a passage for the sperm to enter the uterus
• logistic growth describes a population that grows rapidly and levels of its carrying capacity
• the somatic nervous system is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system
• antidiuretic hormone is primarily responsible for regulating water balance in the body by promoting water reabsortion in the kidneys
• adaptive radiation occurs when individuals which specific traits are better adapted to exploit available resources, leading to the emergence of new species
• artificial selection involves the intentional breeding of organisms with desirable traits by humans
• erythropoietin stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow
• fraternal twins develop from two seperate eggs fertilized by two different sperm
• ovaries are responsible for producing and releasing eggs
• Endorphins are primarily associated with the modulation of pain and pleasure perception
• Geographic isolation is the primary factor driving the formation of new species in allopatric speciation
• The fallopian tube function in fertilizing the egg by sperm
