Fill in the boxes --- CHAPTER 2

Main organ of the male reproductive system

Occurs when the pollen is transferred from the

stamen of one flower to the pistils of the same
flower

Menstrual Cycle

Sexual reproduction

Carry the traits or characteristics from the

parent to the offspring

Contains cells enclosed in a thick case and held

together by a sporangium

Few species of fish that possess both sets of

sexual organs

Cloaca

Eggs are fertilized in the environment outside

the body of the female (mostly in fishes)

Corpus luteum

Sac that keeps the temperature of the testes

slightly lower than that of the rest of the body

Egg-laying/Oviparous animals

The pollen grain is transferred from the anther

of one flower to the stigma of another flower
of the same kind

Puberty

Uterus

Food storage tissue that develops from the

endosperm nucleus

When one sperm cell of a pollen grain fertilizes

an egg cell while the other cell combines with
an endosperm

Short canal that leads to the uterus

 Connects the flower to the branch or stem

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

Process by which seeds are scattered, moved,

or transported away from the parent plant to a
much wider area

Fishes: female deposits thousands of eggs, and

the male swims over them to release sperm

Spawn

Egg cells/Ova

Urethra

Menstruation

Increases and in turn stimulates the growth of

ovarian follicles

Mode of reproduction usually found in females

(wasps, bees, ants)

Fruit

Seed

Comprises the petals of flowers

Fluids secreted by the glands (Cowper’s,

seminal vesicles, prostate)

There is only one parent, and no special

reproductive cells or organs are involved

Livebearers or viviparous

Testosterone

Fertilization

Testes produce male gametes

Have thin, moist skin that is loosely attached to

their bodies; generally live near the ponds,
steams, swamps

Marcotting

Occurs when the pollen grain of one flower

reaches the stigma of another flower

Main organs of the female reproductive system

 Internal fertilization

Cotyledons

Oviduct

An enlarged portion of an underground stem

that contains stored food

Mode of asexual reproduction where the

parent organism splits into two unequal parts

Female sex hormone

Bone growth

Natural vegetative reproduction

Amplexus

Procedure where breast tissues are removed to

reduce risk of developing more cancer cells

Lack of menstrual period and is not normal nor

healthy

Stem that grows horizontally underground

Ejaculation

Series of changes in butterlies and mosquitoes

Female reproductive structure of plants
