Presentation Transcript

  1. Internal vs External Fertilization & Development

  2. Fertilization • Fertilization is the union of egg and sperm • Egg (n) + Sperm (n) = zygote 2n

  3. External Fertilization • External fertilization occurs outside of female parent • Fish • Amphibians • Aquatic vertebrates

  4. External Fertilization • Produce many eggs in water because: • Eggs are laid in the water • There is no parental care • Fertilization & development occur outside the female body

  5. Internal Fertilization • Internal fertilization occurs inside the female parent • Reptiles (lay many eggs) • Birds (lay only a few eggs) • Mammals • development takes place inside the female body

  6. Internal Fertilization • Chance of survival is high • Zygote forms inside the female body.

  7. Development of the fertilized egg • External Development • Develops outside the parent • Aquatic development: develops in water. Egg get nutrition from yolk sac. • Terrestrial Development: land development

  8. Internal Development • Internal Development occurs in mammal inside female • Placental – mammals that possess an internal structure that forms joining of embryo and mother (mice, cats dogs, whale, human) • Allows for longer internal development • Exchange of O2, CO2 & nutrients between mother and embryo

  9. Non-placental Mammals • Non-placental – have external development • Marsupials & monotremes  egg laying mammals
