both asexual and sexual reproduction occur in the—
animal kingdom
sexual reproduction is the creation of an offspring–
by fusion of a male gamete and female gamete to form a zygote
asexual reproduction is creation of—-
offspring without the fusion of egg and sperm
mechanisms of asexual reproduction ex:
budding
budding is a —-
simple asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism
many invertebrates reproduce —-
asexually by fission, separation of a parent into two or more individuals of about the same size
external fertilization:
type of reproduction in which the sperm of a male creature fertilizes the egg of a female organism outside the females body
external fertilization ex:
salmon, trout fish, cod fish
sperm are deposited in or near the female reproductive tract, and fertilization occurs within the reproductive tract==
internal fertilization
viduct//
philopian tube
the male external reproductive organs=
scrotum and penis
which organ is pouch that holds testes?
scrotum
consist of highly coiled tubes (epididymis) surrounded bt connective tisses==
testes
sperm form in these?
seminiferous tubules
leydig cells are—
specialized cells found in the testes, specifically in the interstitial tissue between the seminiferous tubules
leydig cells are responsible for?
producing androgens, primarily testerone
from the seminiferous tubules of a testis, sperm pass into the—
coiled duct of the epididymis
prostate is inferior to-
urinary bladder
what does prostate produce?
slightly alkaline, milky or white in appearance fluid that nourishes and transports sperm
seminal vesicle provide?
fructose as an energy source to the sperm
vas deferans/
ductus deferans
semen is composed of sperm plus secretions from 3 sets of accessory glands:
BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS the prostate…..
prostate gland secretes its products directly into the urethra thru several small ducts the BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS
BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS inferior to
prostate gland
