How Reproduction in Animals takes place?

Some of the most important animal behaviors involve mating. Mating is the pairing of an adult male and female to produce young. Adults that are most successful at attracting a mate are most likely to have offspring. Traits that help animals attract a mate and have offspring increase their fitness.

2. Review
• Asexual Reproduction
– One parent
– No reproductive organs
– No genetic variation
– Mitosis and Cytokinesis
– Binary Fission, Budding,
Spores, Regeneration,
Vegetative Propagation
3. Review
• Sexual Reproduction
– Two parents
– Sex cells
– Meiosis
– Genetic variation
• Survival of species
4. Sexual Reproduction in Lower
Organisms
• Conjugation
– Conjugation bridge
– Exchange or transfer of genetic
material
– No male/female
– Bacteria, paramecia, spirogyra
5. Spirogyra
Zygote develops tough coat and
now called a Zygospore
Zygospore hatches when conditions
6. Sexual Reproduction in Animals
• Have Male and Female
• Have sex organs (Gonads)
– Ovaries-Ova or eggs (Haploid)
– Testes-Sperm (Haploid)
7. Sexual Reproduction in Animals
• Hermaphrodites
– Ovaries and testes in same animal
– In slow or sessile organisms (worm ,hydra
snail)
– Self fertilization rare
8. How are gametes made?
• Gametogenesis
– Oogenesis
– Spermatogenesis

10. Sperm vs. Egg
Sperm Egg
Small Larger
Many Few
Mobile (1-4mm/min) Nonmobile
Complex shape Round
May have Yolk
11. Digestive Enzymes
Energy to swim
12. Fertilization
• Sperm swim to egg
• Sperm releases enzymes to make hole in
egg
• Sperm injects nucleus into egg
• Fertilization membrane form around egg
• No future fertilization
• Joining of sperm nucleus and egg nucleus
• Form diploid zygote
13.
14. Where can fertilization happen?
1. Outside female (External Fertilization)
2. Inside Female (Internal Fertilization)
15. External Fertilization
• Female releases eggs in water
• Male releases sperm in water
• Problems?
• Sperm find eggs
• Many gametes made!
• Spawning behavior or Amplexus
16. Seasonal spawning of Salmon
17.
18. Internal Fertilization
• Safer
• Terrestrial animals and some aquatic
• Need moist female repro. tract
• Fewer eggs needed
• Short life span of gametes (24hrs)
• Need specialized organs
• Timed release of gametes (Hormonal)
19. Adult with no fertilization?
• Parthenogenesis
– Egg develops without sperm
– Insects
– Unfertilized eggs of queen bee=male drone
– Fertilized eggs of queen bee=female workers
or queens
20. What happens after fertilization?
• Development
• Embryology=Study of embryo
development
21. Stages of Development
1. Cleavage
– Mitotic cell divisions
– 2 cells, 4, 8,…..morula=solid ball of cells
– No growth in cell size (cells get smaller)
22. Development
• Cleavage
– Blastula stage=Ball hollows out and has fluid
in core (Blastocoel)
Cells with
yolk
23. Development
2. Gastrulation
– Growth in cell size
– Embryo changes
shape (cells migrate)
24. Development
• Gastrula:
Development of
3 Primary Germ
Layers
Mesoderm
25. Development
• Ectoderm:
– Nervous sys, lining of mouth, nostrils and anus
– Epidermis, hair, nails
• Mesoderm:
– Bone, muscles, blood vessels, repro and excretory
system, dermis
• Endoderm:
– Lining of digestive sys, respiratory sys, liver,
pancreas, glands, bladder
26. Development
3. Differentiation
– Embryonic cells become specialized
– Embryonic Induction=“organizers” influence
cells to take on a certain role in life
– Where cell is located will determine what it will
become
27. • Ex. Nerve cord
development
28. External vs. Internal Development
• External:
– Water
• Embryo feeds on yolk
• Wastes and Oxygen exchange via diffusion
• Little to no care, dangerous
• Ex. Many fish
29. External vs. Internal Development
• External:
– Land
• Embryo feeds on yolk in a
SHELLED egg
• Pores in shell for gas exchange
• Ex. Reptiles (Leathery Shell)-leave
eggs
• Ex. Birds (Hard Shell)-protect eggs
30. Extraembryonic membranes of Bird
Eggs
• Yolk sac=Nutrients
• Amnion=shock
absorption
• Allantois=metabolic
waste storage and gas
exchange
• Chorion=under shell,
Embryo gas exchange
31. External vs. Internal Development
• Internal
– Some organisms: nutrients mostly from yolk and
babies born self-sufficient
– Others: development in womb (Uterus)
– High protection
– Little yolk, nutrients from mom
– Born undeveloped
– Mammals continue to feed via mammary glands
32. Placental vs. Nonplacental
Mammals
• Placental
– Have placenta=site of
nutrient and waste
exchange between
mom and baby
– Baby side and mom
side with space
between
– No blood-blood
contact
33. Placental vs. Nonplacental
Mammals
• Nonplacental:
– **Egg-laying mammals (External Development)
Monotremes
• Ex. Spiny anteater and duckbill platypus
• Eggs with yolk develop outside
• Babies feed on mammary gland milk
34. Placental vs. Nonplacental
Mammals
• Nonplacental
– Pouched mammals (Marsupials)
– Some internal development
– Poorly developed babies born and remain in a
pouch feeding on milk
– Ex. Opossum, Kangaroo

35. Human Male Reproductive System
36. Human Male Reproductive System
37. Parts
• Testes:
– Semineferous tubules
– Sperm production
– Testosterone production
– In scrotum sac
• Epididymis
– Sperm storage and maturation site
38. Parts
• Vas deferens
– Sperm ducts
• Urethra
– Exit route for sperm through penis
• Glands:
– Seminal vesicles=thick, nutrient-rich fluid
– Cowper’s Gland (Bulbourethral glands)= preejaulation
lubricant
– Prostate Gland=milky, alkaline fluid
(Semen is sperm and fluids)
39. Human Female Reproductive
System
40. Human Female Reproductive
System
41. Parts
• Ovaries
– matures eggs located in follicle sacs
– Make estrogen
– Usually one egg matures/month
– Mature egg ovulated
– Egg enters oviducts
42. Parts
• Oviduct
– Site of fertilization
• Uterus
– Site of embryo development
• Cervix
– Doorway into Uterus
• Vagina
– Birth canal and sperm receiving area
43. Human Sexuality
• Fertilization
– Hundreds of millions of
sperm ejaculated into
vagina
– Fertilization in oviduct
• (In vitro vs. in vivo
fertilization)
44. Fraternal vs. Identical Twins
“Identical” Twins may
have some genetic
differences.
Can have difference in
quantities of a gene
(Am. J. Human
Genetics)
• Cleavage as zygote moves
towards the uterus
• Implantation and Gastrulation
– Ectopic pregnancy
45. Human extraembryonic
membranes
• Chorion=surrounds other membranes
– Chorionic villi
– Villi+uterine wall=placenta
• Placenta=Nutrient exchange, no blood-blood
contact
• Amnion=Surrounds fetus
– Amniotic Fluid-shock
• Yolk Sac and Allantois develop into
umbilical cord
46.
47. Birth
• Gestation Time= Time in womb
– 9 months for humans
– 20 days for mouse
– 21 months for elephant
• Labor
– uterine contractions
– Cervix enlargement
– Amnion breaks
– Baby’s head out first
• Afterbirth
– Placenta comes out
48. Terms
• Embryo= zygote from fertilization till 8
weeks
• Fetus= 8 weeks-birth
49. Menstrual Cycle
Starts at Puberty
(10-14 years old)
Stops at
(45-50 years old)
50. Stages
1. Follicle Stage
• FSH from Pituitary matures one follicle
• Follicle secretes Estrogen
• Estrogen enhances Uterine Lining
• High Estrogen levels inhibit Pit. From
secreting FSH
• Pit. Starts to secrete LH
• Days 1-13
51. Stages
2. Ovulation
– High levels of LH cause egg to pop out of follicle
– Day 14
3. Corpus Luteum Stage
– Ruptured follicle (ie. “corpus luteum”) releases
Progesterone
– Progesterone maintains uterine lining (Hormone of
Pregnancy)
– Progesterone inhibits FSH release
52. Stages
4. Menstruation
– If no fertilization:
• LH levels drop
• Corpus luteum breaks down
• Progesterone levels drop
• Estrogen levels drop
• Uterine lining shed
• FSH no longer inhibited
• Start maturing a new follicle
53. Estrous Cycle
• Only humans and other primates have
menstrual cycle
• Other have Estrous Cycle
– Periodic changes in female sex organs
– Periodic desire to mate
– Seasonally fertility (In Heat)
