GENERAL BIOLOGY 2
Cards (85)
- Allows a living thing to reproduce without another member of its species
- requires two genetic material, combination of haploid gametes
- The parent organism divides into two nearly equal parts.
- An offspring develops as a growth on the parent organism and eventually separates.
- The parent organism breaks into fragments, each capable of growing into a new organism.
- An unfertilized egg develops into a new individual.
- New plants grow from parts of the parent plant, such as runners or tubers.
- Sperm and egg cells fuse to form a zygote.
- The fusion of male and female gametes.
- The process where gametes are formed, involving cell division reducing the chromosome number by half.
- These are the primary organs of the male reproductive system responsible for producing sperm cells and male hormones, such as testosterone.
- A coiled tube located behind each testis where sperm
- A long tube that carries sperm cells from the epididymis to the prostate gland through muscular contractions.
- A glandular organ that produces fluid for semen, providing nourishment and protection for sperm cells.
- Two glandular organs that release fluid adding nutrients and balancing the pH of semen.
- Small glands that release a clear fluid to cleanse the urethra and protect sperm cells from any remaining acidic urine in the urethra.
- the external organ of the male reproductive system containing the urethra and delivering semen during intercourse
- also known as seminal fluid
- It involves the monthly series of changes in the ovaries and the uterus, preparing the body for pregnancy
- In this cycle, females experience a period of sexual receptivity (estrus) when they are fertile
- refers to the series of events that occur in the ovaries of female mammals
- Some animals, such as deer and birds, have specific breeding seasons when they are more likely to reproduce.
- They do not have a specific breeding season and can mate and reproduce at any time.
- Some organisms, like aphids and rotifers, exhibit cyclic parthenogenesis, where they alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction in response to environmental conditions.
- responsible for supporting the plants as well as for the storage
- for translocation
- central pumping organ
- heart contractions
- the relaxation
- the driving force for blood circulation
- conduits that transport blood throughout the body
- carry oxygenated
- carry deoxygenated
- facilitate exchange of gasses
- blood flows from heart to lungs
- blood flows from heart to body tissues
- maintain the levels of hormones in the body with desired limits
- works to reverse deviations, stabilizing and maintaining homeotasis
- amplify conditions, pushing the system
- self regulating process
