  1. Sex and Reproduction Chapter 50

  2. Outline • Sexual and Asexual Reproduction • Fertilization and Development • Fish and Amphibians • Reptiles and Birds • Mammals • Male Reproductive System (Information Only. Do not take notes!) • Female Reproductive System (Information Only. Do not take notes!)

  3. Sexual and Asexual Reproduction • Sexual reproduction occurs when a new individual is formed through the union of two sex cells (gametes). • produce zygote • Haploid gametes formed by meiosis in sex organs (gonads). • Asexual reproduction occurs when genetically identical cells are produced from a single parent cell by mitosis. • fission or budding

  4. Asexual and Sexual Reproduction • Different approaches to sex • parthogenesis - virgin birth • exclusive • switching • hermaphroditism - both sex organs • sequential

  5. Asexual and Sexual Reproduction • Sex determination • In some organisms, environmental conditions can determine sex of offspring. • In mammals, sex is determined early in embryonic development. • Embryonic gonads are indifferent. • Y chromosome produces males.

  6. Sex Determination in Mammals

  7. Fertilization and Development • Vertebrate sexual reproduction evolved in the ocean before vertebrates colonized land. • External fertilization - Males generally release sperm into water where the union of the free gametes occurs.

  8. Fertilization and Development • Three strategies of internal fertilization: • oviparity - Eggs are fertilized internally and deposited outside mother’s body to complete development. • ovoviviparity - Fertilized eggs are retained within mother to complete development, but all nourishment gained from yolk sac. • viviparity - Young develop within mother and obtain nourishment directly from mother’s blood.

  9. Fish and Amphibians • Fish • Eggs of most bony fish fertilized externally, and eggs contain small yolk sac. • Fertilization in most cartilaginous fish is internal. • Amphibians • Fertilization is usually external. • Eggs of most species develop in water. • Development divided into stages.

  10. Reptiles and Birds • Reptiles • Most reptiles are oviparous, and lay amniotic eggs. • other species are ovoviviparous, or viviparous • Most males use penis to inject sperm into females.

  11. Reptiles and Birds • Birds • All birds practice internal fertilization. • As eggs pass along oviduct, glands secrete albumin proteins and hard calcareous shell. • homeothermic - must keep eggs warm • Young cared for and nurtured by parents.

  12. Mammals • Mammals • Females generally undergo reproductive cycles (estrous cycles). • periodic release of mature ovum • Changes in secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by pituitary gland drive cycle. • induced ovulators - Females ovulate only after copulation as a result of LH secretion. • cats and rabbits

  13. Mammals • Monotremes are oviparous. • most primitive mammals • Marsupials give birth to incompletely developed fetuses. • Placental mammals retain young for a long period of development within the mother’s uterus.
