ASEXUAL vs. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Sexual & asexual reproduction common
• Asexual reproduction: 1 parent produces
genetically identical offspring
– Budding, fission, fragmentation/
regeneration
– Allows isolated animals to reproduce
without having to find mates
– Produces offspring quickly
– Diminishes genetic diversity of offspring

Fragmentation / Regeneration
• Ex. sea star regenerating lost arm
• Regeneration results from repeated cell
divisions

8.3 Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission
Prokaryotic cells divide asexually
•
Chromosome replicates  then cell divides into
two cells = binary fission

Sexual Reproduction
• Sexual reproduction: fusion of gametes from
two parents
– Two haploid gametes unite to produce a
diploid zygote
– Male sperm is small, flagellated
– Female ovum is larger and not selfpropelled
– Increases genetic variability among
offspring
– May enhance reproductive success in
changing environments
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
External vs. Internal Fertilization
• External fertilization common in aquatic
animals
– Parents release gametes into the
environment, fertilization occurs outside
body
• Internal fertilization occurs in nearly all
terrestrial animals

Eggs
HUMAN REPRODUCTION
Reproductive anatomy of the human female
• Both sexes in humans
– Have set of gonads where gametes are
produced
– Have ducts for delivery of the gametes and
structures for copulation
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
FEMALE
• Ovaries
– Produce egg cells (ova)
– Follicles protect and nourish eggs and
produce estrogen
• Ovulation - one egg released every 28 days,
starting at puberty

Ovary
• Oviducts (fallopian tubes)
– Convey eggs to the uterus
– Location of fertilization
• Uterus (womb)
– Thick wall and endometrium richly supplied
with blood vessels
– Actual site of pregnancy
• Embryo: from first division of zygote until
body structures begin to appear
• Fetus: from about ninth week until birth

MALE
• Testes, housed outside the body (a few
degrees cooler than body temp) in the
scrotum, produce sperm
• Pathway of sperm from testis to outside
– Epididymis
– Vas deferens
– Ejaculatory duct
– Ejaculation through urethra in penis
• Connection between reproductive and
excretory systems

MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Changes in ovary and uterus
– Ovarian cycle: produces the oocyte
– Menstrual/Uterine cycle: involves the
monthly changes in the uterus
– Hormonal messages synchronize the two
cycles through intricate feedback systems

Uterine Cycle—3 Phases
1. Menstruation: shedding of the old uterine
lining, the endometrium. Days 1-5 of the
menstrual cycle.
2. Proliferation Phase: new Uterine lining
(endometrium) is built. Under the control of
Estrogen, which is secreted by the ovary
during this phase. Days 6 to 13
3. Secretory Phase: new uterine lining thickened
and maintained in preparation for a possible
pregnancy. Under the control of
Progesterone. Days 14 to 28. Ends when
progesterone levels fall & menstruation
begins again (if no fertilization)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Ovarian Cycle—3 Phases
1. Follicular Phase: Days 1-13
FSH from the anterior pituitary causes development
of a follicle in the ovary—a maturing oocyte and its
surrounding cells. They in turn secrete Estrogen
which effects the uterine lining
2. Ovulation: Day 14
Release of the oocyte from the follicle into the
Fallopian tube (oviduct). Caused by a large surge in
LH from the anterior pituitary due to surge in
Estrogen.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Luteal Phase
3. Luteal Phase: Days 14 – 28
LH turns what’s left of the follicle into the Corpus
Luteum, a structure that secretes Progesterone (some
estrogen) which has an effect on maintaining the Uterine
lining. Estrogen drop so LH drop. CL dies and
progesterone & estrogen levels fall off, uterine lining
sheds
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
OK—Menstrual Cycle again
• Hormonal events leading to ovulation
– Hypothalamus signals the anterior pituitary
to secrete FSH and LH
– FSH stimulates growth of a follicle, with little
estrogen secreted and negative feedback
control of pituitary
– Increased secretion of estrogen exerts
positive feedback on hypothalamus
– Pituitary secretes burst of FSH and LH
levels
– LH, FSH, and estrogen peak
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Hormonal events at ovulation and after
– LH stimulates completion of meiosis and
rupture of follicle
– Ovulation occurs
– Follicle becomes the corpus luteum
– Corpus luteum secretes estrogen and
progesterone
– High levels of estrogen and progesterone
exert negative feedback on hypothalamus
and pituitary
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
– FSH and LH levels drop
– Hypothalamus stimulates pituitary to
secrete more FSH and LH, and a new cycle
begins
• Control of the menstrual cycle
– When levels of estrogen and progesterone
drop, endometrium begins to slough off
– Menstrual bleeding begins on day 1 of a
new cycle
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
What if. . . .
. . the Ovum is fertilized?
• resulting embryo releases hCG (human chorionic
gonadotropin)
•This has the effect of prolonging the Corpus Luteum
longer, so it continues to secrete progesterone
•Progesterone levels never fall & the uterine lining does
not shed
•This is the first sign of pregnancy
•hCG levels stay high for the 1st 3-4 months, then the
placenta takes over the production of progesterone

FERTILIZATION
Fertilization  zygote  embryonic development
1. Gametes are formed (spermatogenesis &
oogenesis produce haploid cells)
2. Ovum fertilized in Fallopian tube. Sperm
swim up through the cervix & uterus to find
the egg.
Sperm contain digestive enzymes in
Acrosome to penetrate protective barriers
around the ovum

• The properties of sperm cells
– Streamlined shape an adaptation for
swimming
– Thick head contains haploid nucleus
– Acrosome at tip of head contains
enzymes that help sperm penetrate the
egg

provide energy for propulsion and
penetration

4. Cleavage produces a ball of cells from the
zygote
• Cleavage 1st major stage of embryonic
development
• rapid series of cell divisions produces a solid
ball of cells called a Morula from the zygote
• Fluid-filled blastocoel forms in the center of
the embryo
• Blastula, a hollow ball of cells, is final product
of cleavage

Uterus.
Continues to divide and
hollows out producing a
Blastocyst.
Inner cells become the
embryo. The outer ring of
cells becomes the
placenta.

6. The Embryonic Stage (implantation to Week 8)
Gastrulation produces a three-layered embryo
– Endoderm: inner linings of respiratory,
digestive, reproductive, and urinary
systems; for glandular organs: liver,
pancreas, salivary glands)
– Mesoderm: Middle strucutres—bones,
blood vessels, heart, kidneys, uterus,
gonads
– Ectoderm: External structures—skin, hair,
nails, linings of mouth/anus, all nervous
system structures

7. Neurulation & Organogenesis
Organs formation after gastrulation, ex. nervous
system
– Notochord in mesoderm
• Will become core of the backbone
– Hollow nerve cord in ectoderm
• Neural plate forms neural tube, which will
become the brain and spinal cord

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
• Pregnancy, or gestation, is the carrying of
developing young within the female
reproductive tract
– Gestation period varies considerably within
animal species

OVERVIEW OF EMBRYONIC DEVELPMENT
– Fertilization in the oviduct
– Cleavage (morula) -> blastula (implantation)
-> gastrula and organ formation
– Blastocyst implanted in endometrium
• Fluid-filled cavity
• Trophoblast (outer layer cells of the
Blastocyst)
– Secretes enzymes enabling
implantation; forms part of placenta
• Extraembryonic membranes
