| asexual reproduction | reproduction involving one parent; get identical offspring to parent |
| sexual reproduction | reproduction involving two parents; offspring have genetic material from both parents |
| cloning | technique that creates an identical offspring; similiar to asexual reproduction |
| zygote | a fertilized egg; fusing of sperm and egg cells |
| recombination | genes from both parents combine to form zygote |
| differentiation | zygote goes through mitosis and cells specialize into what function they will have such as nerves, bones, etc |
| embryo | an organism in the early stage of development |
| progesterone | a female hormone; when it drops menstration starts |

| placenta | organ where oxygen, food, and excretion takes place between mother and developing embryo or fetus |
| testes | male gonad; produces sperm and testosterone |
| Leutinizing hormone LH | hormone produced in pituitary gland; causes ovulation |
| Follicle Stimulating Hormone FSH | produced in pituitary gland; matures follicle with egg |
| gastrulation | process in embryo development where cells on one side of blastula indent to form 2 layers |
| ovulation | release of egg from ovary |
| cleavage | division of fertilized egg cell through mitosis |
| menopause | cessation or stopping of menstruation |
| oviduct | another name for fallopian tube |
| fallopian tube | tube leading from ovary to uterus where fertilization takes place |
| vagina | birth canal |
| cervix | tip of uterus |
| scrotum | area where testes are held outside male body; keeps testes cool for sperm production |
| epididymis | where sperm mature and are held |
| vas deferens | tube going from epididymis to urethra thru which sperm travel when leaving body |
| urethrea | tube that leaves urinary bladder with urine; same in males and females |
| testosterone | male hormone produced by testes; responsible for secondary sex characteristics |
| follicle | clusters of cells which surround a single egg in ovary |
| negative feedback | the hormonal communication between the pituitary gland and ovary during female mentrual cycle |
| corpus luteum | after ovulation the follicle where egg was produces progesterone |
| seminole vesicles | male gland that adds to semen to transport sperm |
| prostate | male gland that adds to semen to transport sperm |
| cowper's gland | male gland that adds to semen to transport sperm |
| semen | fluid in males that transports sperm |
