4
cloaca
The egg is "laid "from the ________- a chamber that the reproductive, digestive, and excretory systems flow into and that opens to the environment.
New cards
5
ovoviviparous species
In ________, offspring also develop inside the mothers body but are nourished by nutrient- rich yolk stored in the egg.
New cards
6
Birds
________ are oviparous " (egg- bearing ")animals that lay an amniotic egg protected by a hard shell; most mammals are viviparous ("live bearing) ",and embryonic development takes place entirely within the mothers body.

8
umbilical cord

New cards
9
Pregnancy
________ and lactation- providing milk that nourishes offspring after birth- represent some of the most extreme forms of parental care known in animals.
New cards
10
Cells
________ from the mothers uterus also form part of the placenta.
New cards
11
ovum
A(n) ________ is also known as a mature egg.
New cards
12
ICM
There is a distinction between the trophoblast and the ________- the embryo develops from the ________, and the trophoblast forms part of an organ called the placenta.
New cards
13
short ejaculatory
A vas deferens is a tube with smooth muscle in its walls that transports sperm from the epididymis to the ________ duct within the prostate gland, where the sperm are mixed with accessory fluids.
New cards
14
Cleavage
________ in mammals results in a type of blastula called a blastocyst " (sprout- bag), "which has two populations of cells.
New cards
15
female gonad
In the ________, diploid cells called oogonia (singular: oogonium) divide by mitosis.
New cards
16
trophoblast
Inside the ________ is a fluid filled cavity (blastocoel) and a cluster of cells called the inner cell mass (ICM)
New cards
17
male gonad
In the ________, diploid cells called spermatogonia (singular: spermatogonium) divide by mitosis.
New cards
18
blastomeres
The cells that are created during cleavage are called ________.
New cards
19
saclike scrotum
The ________ holds the testes; the penis functions as the organ of copulation, or sexual intercourse, necessary for internal fertilization.
New cards
20
haploid spermatid
Each ________ develops into a spermatozoan (plural: spermatozoa), also commonly known as sperm- a cell that is specialized for carrying a haploid genome from the male through the female reproductive act and fertilizing an egg.
New cards
21
Sexual reproduction
________, in contrast,typically involves the fusion of haploid gametes and results in offspring that are genetically different from each other and from their parents.
New cards
22
mass of blastomeres
When cleavage is complete, the embryo in many animals consists of a(n) ________ called a blastula.
New cards
23
parthenogenesis
In ________ (literally, "virgin- origin) ", females develop eggs and produce offspring without any genetic contribution from a male.
New cards
24
Male gonads
________ are called testes; female gonads are called ovaries.
New cards
25
Once the males have matured, sexual reproduction ensues
by meiosis, males produce haploid sperm and females produce haploid eggs, and these gametes fuse to create diploid offspring
New cards
26
Oogenesis is the formation of ova (singular
ovum)
New cards
27
In the male gonad, diploid cells called spermatogonia (singular
spermatogonium) divide by mitosis
New cards
28
Each haploid spermatid develops into a spermatozoan (plural
spermatozoa), also commonly known as sperm-a cell that is specialized for carrying a haploid genome from the male through the female reproductive act and fertilizing an egg
