Document Summary

Embryology: the study of prenatal development, embraces processes extending from the production of sperm and eggs (gametogenesis) to fertilization, embryonic and fetal development, and birth. Small cell is called a polar body and is the excess chromosomes to be disposed of and dies off. Large cell goes on to become the egg. It has a lot of cytoplasm (the raw material for early development. Meiosis ii never occurs unless the egg is fertilized. 1 egg is released a month swept into uterine (fallopian) takes a 3 day trip to get to the uterus if not fertilized in 24 hours, it dies off: capacitation: Destroyed by vaginal acid or drain out of the vagina fail to get through the cervical canal into the uterus. May go up the wrong uterine tube freshly ejaculated sperm cannot immediately fertilize an egg, they must undergo a process called capacitation, which takes about 10 hours and occurs during their migration in the female reproductive tract.

a. meiosis results in the production of two new cells, whilemitosis results in the production for four new
cells., b. meiosis is used for growth and repair, while mitosis isused for production of eggs and sperm., c.

involves one cell division, while mitosis involves two celldivisions., e. meiosis results in the production of
diploid cells, while mitosis results in the production of haploidcells.
