process carried out by having sexual intercourse with a male. A female ovulate an egg cell‚ oocytes goes down a uterine tube. During sexual intercourse male sperm moves into the vagina‚ which is near the female’s cervix‚ this occurs in the reproductive system. The sperm cell swims up the uterus and meets up with the oocyte and the process of fertilization occurs. During sexual intercourse many sperms swim towards the oocyte but only one sperm cell has the ability to fertilize the egg.

learned how the sperm and the egg worked‚ so you can explain to your own children. First‚ I will try to explain the journey of the sperm and its final destination the egg. The man has an organ called the testes. In these testes has a unique reproductive system. In the testes‚ they secrete hormones and produce cells. In the case of the testes‚ the germ cells are sperm and the sex hormones are androgens. (Human sexuality‚ 2005) The spermatogenesis is the formation and development of the spermatozoon

The story behind the sperm and the egg can seem very complex to some while others understand its entire root of transition from one to the other.

Half yearly studies Chapter 2: Reproduction What is Sexual Reproduction? Sexual reproduction occurs when offspring result from the fusion of a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell. These special reproductive cells are called gametes and they are produced in the reproductive organs of the organism. External Fertilisation * Gametes are tiny and are dehydrated extremely easily‚ so they only survive in specific conditions. * Some animals‚ specifically those that live in

Biology: Research Task and Oral PresentationResearch Task:1.Describe some mechanisms found in Australian fauna to ensure:•Fertilisation•Survival of the embryo and of the young after birthFertilisation is the fusion of haploid sex cells in the action of sexual reproduction. It is often a difficult process as:• careful timing is required: both female and male gametes need to be produced and released at the same time• arrangements need to be made to bring the gametes together• A watery medium is always

internally they are quite different. Just as the male does not have an external penis‚ and the scrotum is not well developed until sexual maturity‚ the entrance to the female’s vagina is hidden beneath the tail. In the female reproductive system the primary reproductive organs of the female is the ovaries. They are small kidney- shaped organs that usually cover the fallopian tubes. Next to the ovary lies the funiculum (funnel shaped) that captures the egg and releases them into the body cavity

dispersed populations. Stamens are the male reproductive structure‚ they produce microspores in the anthers of a flower to produce pollen grains. Pollen is able to be transferred by wind due to its waterproof coating. The carpel of an angiosperm is the female reproductive structure‚ which produces female gametophytes with eggs. The carpel helps to create and ovule. The ovule protects the eggs and zygote‚ it is an a adaptation which increases reproductive fitness. Unlike angiosperms‚ mosses (bryophytes)

Reproduction in humans is performed by reproductive systems‚ the male and female reproductive systems. The main organs of male reproductive system are testis and gonads and of female reproductive system are vagina‚ ovaries‚ and uterus. Main events in sexual reproduction of humans are production of sperms and egg‚ copulation‚ and fertilization. (Sexual Reproduction in Humans) : Production of Gametes Sperms are produced in seminiferous tubules present in male reproductive organ testis. This process is known
