Why is meiosis important in the reproductive system? | | it ruptures and releases the secondary oocyte from the ovary after the follicle has matured. |
How does the sperm meet the egg in the female's reproductive system? | | It begins to degrade or it corrupts. |
Where is sperm formed? | | Semen |
What does the male's body produce so that the sperm can be released from the body? | | the cell will have half of the father's and half of the mother's genetic material. |
What is a zygote? | | It may force it's way to a matured egg if it is located in one of the fallopian tubes which can result in fertilization. |
How does the egg become fertilized? | | Seminal vesicles and the prostate gland. |
When do sperm and eggs begin to mature? | | It is when the blastocyst burrows in the lining of the uterus |
What is oogenesis? | | The primary oocyte is released. |
How can an egg be formed maturely? | | When the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm, as it is passing by the fallopian tube. It then completes meiosis and forms another polar body and a mature egg. The polar bodies then, corrupts and disappears. |
Which oocyte begins the first step of meiosis? | | It is the process of producing eggs in the ovary. |
What happens during ovulation? | | in the testicles with in tiny tubes which are called seminiferous tubules. |
What two parts of the body produces seminal fluid? | | Through puberty |
What is ejaculation? | | It means it is an immature egg as it travels into the uterus. |
Where does the sperm travel through to get to the egg in the fallopian tube? | | It floats in amniotic fluid which is located in the amniotic sac. |
What happens to the follicle when it ruptures? | | Primary oocyte |
What happens to the corpus luteum? | | From it's mother's blood by the umbilical cord. |
What happens to the secondary oocyte if it is not fertilized? | | It travels through the cervix into the uterus which it is connected to it. |
What happens once the egg is fertilized? | | It will become a multi celled blastocyst which contains a ball of cells with fluid. |
What do hormones like estrogen do for the blastocyst? | | They cause the endometrium to be thick with blood so that the blastocyst can gain nutrients. |
What is the endometrium? | | It is only if the secondary oocyte is fertilized by a sperm. |
What comes after the embryonic stage? | | The fetal stage comes after the embryonic stage. |
What does the fetus float in and where is it located? | | It is when the semen is pushed out of the urethra and is released from the the male's body. |
How does the fetus receive the oxygen and essentials it needs? | | a fertilized egg that contains 46 chromosomes. |
