    Flashcards

    What is Embryology?

    The study of the early development of living organisms, focusing on the processes leading to the formation of a complete individual from a single cell.

    What is Sexual Reproduction?

    A type of reproduction involving the fusion of two gametes (sperm and egg) resulting in a zygote, the initial single cell of a new individual.

    What is Gametogenesis?

    The process of producing haploid gametes (sperm or egg) from diploid germ cells, reducing the number of chromosomes in the gametes.

    What is Spermatogenesis?

    The process of forming sperm cells from diploid germ cells in the testes, involving multiplication, growth, and maturation phases.

    What is a Zygote?

    A fertilized egg formed by the fusion of a sperm and an egg, marking the beginning of a new individual.

    Study Notes

    Embryology

    • Embryology is the study of the early development of living organisms
    • All animals and plants can reproduce new individuals to ensure the survival of their kind
    • Reproduction can be asexual or sexual

    Asexual Reproduction

    • Involves a single organism splitting, budding, or fragmenting to create two or more individuals

    Types of Asexual Reproduction

    • Splitting: The organism splits into two individuals (e.g., Paramecium)
    • Budding: The organism produces a small bud that grows on the parent's body, then breaks off to become a new individual (e.g., Hydra)
    • Fragmentation: The organism breaks into fragments, which grow into new organisms, sometimes forming a colony (e.g., yeast)

    Sexual Reproduction

    • Involves the fusion of two gametes (a male gamete, sperm and a female gamete, egg) to form a zygote (fertilized egg)
    • The chromosomes of the sperm and egg combine to form the 2n chromosomes of the zygote
    • The zygote undergoes embryonic development and cell division, resulting in a large number of somatic cells containing diploid chromosomes (2n), forming the embryo
    • Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes (sperm and egg) are formed, containing haploid (n) chromosomes

    Gametogenesis

    • The process by which gametes (sperm and egg) are produced
    • Involves the reduction of chromosome number to haploid sets in resulting gametes

    Spermatogenesis

    • The process of sperm production in the testicles
    • Three phases:
      • Multiplication: Primordial germ cells undergo mitotic divisions creating spermatogonia
      • Growth: Spermatogonia grow to form primary spermatocytes with 2n chromosomes
      • Maturation: Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I and II, resulting in four spermatids with n chromosomes. Spermatids mature into spermatozoa (sperm) through a process called metamorphosis

    Oogenesis

    • The production of mature ova (egg cells) in the ovaries
    • Ovaries contain primordial germ cells that undergo meiosis to form ova

    Structure of a Spermatozoon (Sperm Cell)

    • Includes an acrosome, nucleus, basal body, mitochondria, axoneme (tail)

    Types of Sperm

    • Various shapes and structures exist among animal species
