revision: Biology - Topic: Reproduction

Types of Reproduction/Structures/SSC
-Compare and contrast asexual and sexual reproduction with examples.

Reproduction is the production of new organisms. There are two general kinds of reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

  • Requires two parents.
  • Fertilization occurs.
  • Sex cells called gametes are necessary.
  • Offspring has variation.
  • Essential to adapt and survive in changing and unstable environments.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
  • Requires only one parents
  • No fertilization occurs.
  • Offspring has no variation.
  • Organisms divide to form new structures breaking away from the main structure.
  • Suitable for stable 


-Label a diagram of the male and female reproductive system and give the function of the component parts.

- Explain the changes in primary to secondary sexual characteristics.

Understanding the role of oestrogen and progesterone in the menstrual cycle.
-Sketch an outline of the menstrual cycle and label significant points.

-Identify the effect of oestrogen on the cycle.

-Identify the effect of progesterone on the cycle.

3.2/3.10/3.11 - Fertilization and the development of the zygote supported by placental membranes and protected by amniotic fluids
-To explain that fertilization creates diploid zygotes and that these develop into embryos.

-Explain that the role of the placenta is providing nutrient and oxygen for the development of the embryo.

-Describe the role of the amniotic fluid in protection of the developing embryo.
