Genetic variations: Explain the three mechanisms that contribute to genetic variations in sexual life cycle.
All of the following describe a gamete, EXCEPT: a) sperm b) haploid c) zygote d) egg
What is the function of the ovaries in a flowering plant? To produce female gametes To produce male gametes To produce male and female gametes
The following characteristics are true of the male gamete sperm except:A. lifespan: 72 hours B. with 23 chromosomes, 22 autosomes and a Y sex chromosome C. produced by the testes D. has 2 types: androsperm carries the Y-sex chromosome and the gynosperm which carries the X-sex chromosome Provide explanation.
One of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.
Figure 18.17 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? a. 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.
Which of the following correctly describes hermaphroditism? A. It is an example of sexual reproduction because it involves a male and a female. B. It is an example of asexual reproduction because only one individual needs to be involved. C. It is an example of sexual reproduction because it involves fusion of two gametes. D. It is an example of asexual reproduction because the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
Which of the following mechanisms contributes to genetic variation through sexual reproduction via the random orientation of pairs of homologous chromosomes at metaphase of meiosis I? A. crossing over B. random fertilization C. independent assortment of chromosomes D. cytokinesis
The route followed by a sperm from production to fertilization in a flowering plant is: -A sperm cell, enclosed in a pollen grain with another sperm, is produced in the filamentIt is transported to a stigma where it passes through a pollen tube that grows down the style to the ovaryThe pollen grain enters the ovule and joins with the egg cell. -A sperm cell is produced in the antherIt is transported to a stigma where it becomes enclosed along with another sperm cell into a pollen grainThe pollen grain grows down the style to the ovaryIt enters the ovule and joins with the egg cell. -A pollen grain is produced in the pistil, which explosively ejects it into the airThe pollen grain is transported to a stigma where it forms two sperm cells.One of the sperm cells passes through a pollen tube that grows down the style to the ovaryThe sperm enters the ovule and joins with the egg cell. -A pollen grain is produced in the antherIt is transported to a stigma where it produces two sperm…
The change of successful fertilization is approximately 18% in every cycle. Why does this statistic seem so low? All of the following statements provide a reason as to why the chance of fertilization is 18% every ovarian cycle EXEPT Select one: A. Some Sperm cells are not very motile, while others are formed without a tail. B. If more than one sperm fertilizes an egg, multiple embryos can result. C. Vagina is very acidic, killing many sperm. D. There two fallopian tubes and two ovaries, but only one of them releases an ovum every cycle.
Offspring formed due to sexual reproduction have better chances ofsurvival. Why? Is this statement always true?
Describe what sexual dimorphism is and why its existence is puzzling.
