Question
Chapter 36, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why the offsprings of a Komodo dragon kept in isolation are not identical.
Concept introduction:
Parthenogenesis is an asexual way of reproduction in which the unfertilized egg gives rise to an organism. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division which halves the ploidy of a cell to make gametes.

. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY You discover a new egg-laying wormspecies. You dissect four adults and find both oocytesand sperm in each. Cells outside the gonad contain fivechromosome pairs. Lacking genetic variants, explain howyou would determine whether the worms can self-fertilize.
If a human gamete with an extra chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)
If a human gamete with a missing chromosome participates in fertilization with a gamete with a normal number of chromosomes, how many chromosomes will the zygote have? Will the zygote be viable? Explain your answer. (Remember, zygotes are diploid)

Which hormones are present in largest concentration just before ovulation? During which part of the menstrual cycle is the endometrium most prepared to receive an embryo? Which hormones stimulate thickening of the endometrium? Gonadotropic hormones and ovarian hormones regulate the monthly sequence of events that take place within the ovary and uterus. The preovulatory phase begins with menstruation; the postovulatory phase begins after ovulation. Figure 50-14 Endocrine regulation of the menstrual cycle When fertilization does not occur, the menstrual cycle repeats about every 28 days. Note the changes in hormone concentrations that regulate the menstrual cycle.
