QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Sexual reproduction - CORRECT ANSWERS fusion of haploid gametes
to form diploid cell
Egg - CORRECT ANSWERS female gamete
Sperm - CORRECT ANSWERS male gamete
Zygote - CORRECT ANSWERS fertilized egg, result of sexual
reproduction
Asexual reproduction - CORRECT ANSWERS new individuals formed
without fusion of egg and sperm
Parthenogenesis - CORRECT ANSWERS young develop directly from
unfertilized eggs of female with no DNA from males
Ovulation - CORRECT ANSWERS The process of releasing a mature
ovum into the fallopian tube each month
Hermaphroditism - CORRECT ANSWERS each individual has both
male and female reproductive systems
Fertilization - CORRECT ANSWERS Process in sexual reproduction in
which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell
Gonads - CORRECT ANSWERS organs that produce gametes
,Cloaca - CORRECT ANSWERS common opening to outside of
organism
Testes - CORRECT ANSWERS male gonads, produce sperm
Seminiferous tubules - CORRECT ANSWERS Narrow, coiled tubules
that produce sperm in the testes.
Scrotum - CORRECT ANSWERS a pouch of skin containing the
testicles.
Epididymis - CORRECT ANSWERS where sperm complete maturation
and become motile
Ejaculation - CORRECT ANSWERS ejection of sperm and fluid from
the male urethra
Vas deferens - CORRECT ANSWERS thick-walled tube that transports
sperm cells from epididymis, where sperm stored prior to ejaculation
Urethra - CORRECT ANSWERS tube leading from the urinary bladder
to the outside of the body, also transports sperm
Semen - CORRECT ANSWERS A thick fluid containing sperm and
other secretions from the male reproductive system
Seminal vesicles - CORRECT ANSWERS two elongated saclike glands
that secrete fluid contents into ejaculatory ducts
,Prostate gland - CORRECT ANSWERS chestnut-shaped reproductive
organ, located directly beneath urinary bladder, which adds secretions to sperm
during ejaculation of semen
Penis - CORRECT ANSWERS Male reproductive organ, contains
urethra and three layers of erectile tissue
Ovaries - CORRECT ANSWERS Glands that produce the egg cells and
hormones two organs that flank uterus and held in place by ligaments in
abdominal cavity.
Oocyte - CORRECT ANSWERS a cell in an ovary which may undergo
meiotic division to form an ovum
Oviduct - CORRECT ANSWERS Fallopian tube; tube that carries eggs
from an ovary to the uterus
Follicles - CORRECT ANSWERS small, fluid-filled sacs located in the
ovaries that contain immature eggs
Uterus - CORRECT ANSWERS Female organ of reproduction used to
house the developing fetus.
Endometrium - CORRECT ANSWERS inner, mucous membrane lining
of the uterus
Vulva - CORRECT ANSWERS external female genitalia; includes the
labia, hymen, clitoris, and vaginal orifice
, Labia minora - CORRECT ANSWERS the smaller inner folds of the
vulva.
Clitoris - CORRECT ANSWERS a small sensitive and erectile part of
the female genitals at the anterior end of the vulva.
Mammary glands - CORRECT ANSWERS Specialized organs in
mammals that produce milk to nourish the young
FSH - CORRECT ANSWERS A tropic hormone produced by the
anterior pituitary gland that targets the gonads. In females, stimulates the
ovaries to develop follicles (oogenesis) and secrete estrogen; in males,
stimulates spermatogenesis.
LH - CORRECT ANSWERS spurs ovulation and helps with hormone
production needed to support pregnancy
Progesterone - CORRECT ANSWERS A hormone produced by the
ovaries which acts with estrogen to bring about the menstral cycle.
Ovarian cycle - CORRECT ANSWERS cyclic events in ovaries where
once per cycle, follicle matures and oocyte released
Uterine cycle - CORRECT ANSWERS cyclic changes in endometrium
(uterine lining) in mammals that occur in absence of pregnancy. In certain
primates (including humans), it is menstrual cycle.
Menstrual cycle - CORRECT ANSWERS when endometrium thickens
and develops rich blood supply before being shed through cervix and vagina if
no pregnancy
