Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Does not require union
- Binary Fission: Cell divides into two genetically identical cells without exchanging genetic material
- Budding: New organism develops from a bud (outgrowth) on the parent, receiving nutrients until it detaches
- Fragmentation: Organism splits into fragments, each developing into a new, complete organism
- Spore Formation: Production of spores
Sexual Reproduction
- Requires union
- 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent)
- Sex cells (sperm and egg)
- Somatic cells (research needed)
- Secondary sex organs (essential to reproduction, male: ducts, glands, penis; female: uterine tubes, uterus, vagina)
Male Reproductive System
- Composed of two testes, glands, and an organ that transfers sperm
- Testes: Oval organs (4-7 cm long, 20-25 mL volume), within the scrotum. Produce sperm cells from germ cells in seminiferous tubules. Secretes testosterone.
- Penis: Transfers sperm to the female's body
Additional Information
- Various aspects about the different components of the male reproductive system, including their structures and functions, are included in the provided diagrams.
- Additional details regarding the processes, structures and functions of the female reproductive system are included
- Details on various types of diseases are included as well as relevant treatments and symptoms
