Many species of mammals are threatened or endangered. Methods of assisted reproduction that are being used with increasing frequency to produce offspring of domestic animals and humans are often viewed as offering innovative ways to reproduce non-domestic species as well. Uncounted millions of live you...
This phenomenon is widely accepted as an important evolutionary force in both plants and animals. Although unreduced gametes occur spontaneously in most vertebrates, they appear to pro- duce viable progeny mainly in ectotherms. Artificial experimentation suggests that the formation of unreduced gametes ...
The cells produced by meiosis are called gametes (in higher animals) or spores (in flowering plants). Male gametes are also known as sperm; female gametes are known as eggs, or ova. In this learning module, we study meiosis in higher animals. Only specific cells undergo meiosis to produce...

How does this work in plants, animals, and fungi? What are the major differences in how meiosis occurs in the How does meiosis get its diploid cell? How does metaphase in meiosis I and meiosis II differ? How do cells created through meiosis differ from somatic cells? Are carpels haploid?
Female hormones are to male hormones as a. estrogens are to progesterones. b. estrogens are to androgens. c. serotonins are to dopamines. d. androgens are to testosterones. In lower animals, the release of the female sex hormone into the bloodstream, makes the female receptive ...
This chapter describes the methods found useful for the study of cell division in early cleavage stage sea urchin zygotes. Successful and reliable fertilization of sea urchin eggs is simple if a few precautions are kept in mind. First, u... ...

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a subclass of the small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs). Their main reported function was to exert control over transposable elements (TEs) in mammalian germline. In this study undertaking a deeper bioinformatics analysis of
