Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Figure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.

LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. b. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. c. Both progesterone and estrogen are produced by the follicles. d. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estrogen but stimulated by high levels of estrogen.
Besides producing gametes (sperm and eggs), the primary male and female reproductive organs also produce sex hormones. The _____ and the pituitary gland control secretion of both.
In vertebrate animals, spermatogenesis and oogenesis differ, in that 1.) Cytokinesis is unequal in oogenesis whereas it i equal in spermatogenesis 2.) spermatogenesis is not completed until after fertilization occurs, but oogenesis is completed by the time a girl is born 3.) Oogenesis produces four haploid cells, whereas spermatogenesis produces only one functional spermatozoon 4.) Oogensis ends at menopause. Whereas spermatogenesis is finished before birth 5.) Oogensis begins at the onset of sexual maturity whereas spermatogenesis happens in embryonic development

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that can help couples who are having difficulty becoming pregnant due to blocked Fallopian tubes, low sperm count, low sperm motility, or sperm that cannot penetrate the outer layer of an egg, among other conditions.Normally, an ovary produces one mature ovum per 28-day cycle. In order to ensure a successful IVF procedure, doctors try to retrieve a large number of mature eggs.In order to obtain a greater than normal number of mature eggs, doctors inject the IVF candidate with a drug such as Bravellissima, which stimulates multiple follicle development. They also administer a drug such as Centrotic, which suppresses ovulation to prevent earlier than anticipated ovulation of mature ova. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the naturally occurring hormones that the IVF drugs are imitating? Select one: a. Bravellissima Centrotic FSH Estrogen b.
