Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Genetic variation enables species to adapt and evolve in the changing environment. Asexually reproducing organisms primarily depends on mutation for the genetic variation. Although in sexually reproducing organisms mutation also occurs but very rarely. Therefore, the genetic variability that occurs from one generation to other results almost entirely from sexual reproduction and meiosis.

Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement). Describe how intrauterine insemination can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps. Make sure that the treatment process AND how the process helps to improve fertility are clearly explained.
Aneuploidy is the loss or gain of one or more______________?
During fertilization in flowering plants, one sperm cell nucleus fuses with the egg nucleus, producing the diploid zygote. The other sperm nucleus fuses with the ___________________________________, producing the triploid ________________________, which develops as temporary tissue that nourishes the embryo. This process is called ___________________ fertilization. What tissue nourishes the embryo in gymnosperm seeds?
