Study Notes
Genetic Variation and Reproductive Processes
- Genetic variation increases during meiosis, a process that involves the division of sex cells (gametes) to produce offspring with unique combinations of traits.
- Spermatogenesis, the process of producing sperm cells, occurs in the epididymis and testes in the male reproductive system.
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) surge triggers ovulation in the female reproductive system, releasing a mature egg from the ovary.
- Meiosis is the process where four non-identical cells are created, resulting in genetically unique gametes.
- The corpus luteum in the female reproductive system produces progesterone, which prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg and maintains pregnancy.
- The bulbourethral glands in the male reproductive system produce pre-ejaculate fluid, which helps to neutralize acidity in the urethra and lubricate the penis during sexual arousal.
