Hormones are a part of the reproductive process of producing an offspring. They are the one responsible for producing both sperm and egg cells. The reason why some cells do not respond to certain hormones is that some hormones only react to specific cells with specific receptors for the active hormone.

This is important in reproduction because fertilization will not occur and there will be no zygote and embryo formation if there is no fusion of the sperm and egg.

A factor that can be considered why some species lay hundreds of eggs is to be sure that another animal is produced. When laying eggs, predators can eat the eggs and some of the eggs may be lucky enough to be retained.
Exercise 40
Result

Fertilization in reptiles and birds must be internal to stay safe from the predators. Living in the wild entails danger and risks of being the meal of a predator. Since reptiles and birds have protective shells after being fertilized, this will serve as their added protection from the wild.
Exercise 41

This is because the rate of birth of the human race is greater than the rate of death in a human population. Another reason would be that humans do not easily die, there must be certain factors or hazards needed before a human can die.

Cloning is the process of replicating genes in order to produce an identical type of plant or organism. A cloned flock would be different from a non-cloned flock in that a cloned flock will have the same DNA as the parent flock.
Exercise 43
Result
1 of 1
An advantage of having a cloned flock include the convenience of reproduction. Another advantage would be an easy way to reproduce flocks in order to meet the demand.
Exercise 44
Result
1 of 1
A disadvantage of a cloned flock is the possibility of having mutations in the genes. These mutations create or may have different manifestations in a flock and may also cause abnormalities or even death.
Exercise 45
Result
1 of 1
One reason the farmer would mate his sheep with others is for the purpose of variation in genes. This creates different characteristics or variations in order to decrease the possibility of having mutations.
Exercise 46
Result
1 of 1
This would create variations because cloning produces exactly the same DNA or genes as the parent. Mating a parent offspring from the flock with another parent from another flock would create different combinations of genes.
Exercise 47
Result

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and have the same genetic combination as the parent. This occurs because asexual reproduction does not involve the process of transferring genetic information from an egg and sperm cell.
Exercise 48
Result
1 of 1
Sexual and asexual reproduction also differ in the process of how they reproduce. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of the egg and sperm cell and undergoes fertilization and meiosis while in asexual reproduction, the process of reproducing is called mitosis.
Exercise 49
Result
1 of 1
A zygote is formed by the fusion of both egg and sperm cells. These cells are called gametes which com from both parents, male and female. The egg cells, as well as, the sperm cells have an equal number of chromosome which is 23.
Exercise 50
Result
1 of 1
The genetic content of the zygote will come from both the parent cells fused together, the egg and sperm cell. This fusion would contribute equal amounts of a chromosome, which is half of each parent resulting in a diploid chromosome.
Exercise 51
Result
1 of 1
Fertilization occurs right after the egg and sperm cell meet. This event occurs in the oviduct of the female reproductive system. After this, the process of meiosis occurs wherein differentiation occurs and embryo formation.

One factor that may affect fetal development is the exposure of the fetus to certain hazards from the environment such as tobacco, alcohol or drugs. This certain environmental factors alter the development of the fetus and create different mutations while developing.
