FSH and LH directly promote development of the uterine endometrium

mitosis

labia majora

they have the same number of chromosomes

stimulates mammary gland development

regression of the corpus luteum and a decrease in ovarian progesterone secretion

Each spermatid forms two sperm.

serves as a passageway for the primary oocyte

in oogenesis, one mature ovum is produced, and in spermatogenesis four mature sperm are produced from the parent cell

the seminal glands

The hormones cause the woman's body to mimic the activities of a pregnancy and disrupt the ovarian cycle, preventing ovulation.

It is a significant source of genetic variation only during meiosis I.

GnRH

involves FSH and LH release

The narrow portion of the uterus near the cervix is the most typical site of fertilization.

uterine tubes

stimulates mammary gland development

be sterile

Syphilis is caused by a virus that may lead to death if untreated.

corpus spongiosum

They move away from the pelvic cavity.

thalamus

Normally menstruation occurs when ________.
a. blood levels of FSH fall off
b. the corpus luteum secretes estrogen
c. blood levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease
d. blood levels of estrogen and progesterone increase

blood levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease

GnRH from the hypothalamus causes FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary.

corpus luteum

LH

decreased testosterone secretion

progesterone levels are at their highest

growth of the breasts at puberty

inhibin

peristaltic contractions

uterine tubes

The sister chromatids are separated from each other.

involves a kind of cell division limited to the gametes

a parasympathetic reflex

Rebuilding the endometrium is under the control of prolactin.

twice the diploid number, and with every succeeding generation, the chromosome number would continue to double and normal development could not occur
