Regents Review Day 08 Reproduction
Mitosis • Mitosis is when one cell splits into 2 identical cells. • Mitosis is used for: • Asexual reproduction • Tissue repair • Fetal development
Meiosis • Meiosis is ONLY used for making eggs and sperm in sexual reproduction. • Meiosis gives genetic variety through crossing over, sorting of genes, and recombination.
Female Reproductive System • Female reproductive structures: • Ovaries: make and release eggs. Release the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the female reproductive cycle. • Oviduct (fallopian tubes): connects ovary to uterus; it is where fertilization takes place
Female Reproductive System • Female reproductive structures: • Uterus: where the fetus develops • Vagina (birth canal): where the baby comes out. • Cervix: separates the uterus from the vagina; must open (dilate) to allow birth.
Male Reproductive System • Male reproductive structures: • Penis: delivers the sperm • Testes: produce the sperm and the hormone testosterone, which regulates the male reproductive cycle. • Reproductive glands: secrete (release) fluids (semen) to feed and protect the sperm.
Fertilization and Development • Fertilization is when the sperm and egg come together to form the zygote, which develops into an embryo, then a fetus through many mitotic divisions. • All of the cells contain the same DNA, but different genes get turned on through differentiation.
