- The Human Reproductive System Discuss and compare the products of meiosis in human females and males. How many functional gametes are produced from the daughter cells in each sex?arrow_forwardIn humans, gametogenesis in both sexes relies on meiosis. However, spermatogenesis produces four gametes while oogenesis produces only one. Explain why this is so, including the specific structures or processes involved.arrow_forwardIn a possible future scenario, male fertility drops to zero, but, luckily, scientists develop a way for women to pro-duce babies by virgin birth. Meiocytes are converted di-rectly (without undergoing meiosis) into zygotes, which implant in the usual way. What would be the short- andlong-term effects in such a society?arrow_forward
- Can you think of reasons as to why some animals use asexual reproduction?arrow_forwardWhy do you think asexual reproduction is more common in animals like flatworms and sponges than in vertebrates ?arrow_forward. This experiment is an example of a research approach in which scientists infer how something works normally based on what happens when the normal process is blocked. What normal process was blocked in Jost’s experiment? From the results, what inference can you make about the role of the gonads in controlling the development of mammalian genitalia?arrow_forward
- Suppose that during mesodermal development, a mutation in metanephric mesenchyme was observed resulting in the deformation of the metanephros. How would that affect the formation of gametes?arrow_forwardExplain why genetic mutations in asexual organisms lead to much more rapid evolutionary change than do genetic mutations in sexual forms. Why might harmful mutations be more deleterious to asexual organisms compared with sexual organisms?arrow_forwardWhat is the differences between Mammals and Frogs in Spermatogenesis?arrow_forward
- Plants and animals are both capable of reproducing asexually. In which typesof asexual reproduction are common to both organisms?arrow_forwardSexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from one another and from their parents. Describe four mechanisms that produce this genetic variation. Do any of these mechanisms occur in asexualreproduction?arrow_forwardWhat are two important differences between the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis in animals?arrow_forward
