  2. Female sperm storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_Sperm_Storage

    Sperm storage organs in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.Female was first mated with GFP-male and then re-mated with RFP-male. Female sperm storage is a biological process and often a type of sexual selection in which sperm cells transferred to a female during mating are temporarily retained within a specific part of the reproductive tract before the oocyte, or egg, is fertilized.

  3. Environmental sex determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_sex...

    In plants, for example, female sexual function is often more energetically expensive because once fertilized they must use significant stored energy to produce fruits, seeds, or sporophytes whereas males must only produce sperm (and sperm-containing structure; antheridium in seedless plants, and pollen in seed plants).

  4. Bateman's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bateman's_principle

    Bateman attributed the origin of the unequal investment to the differences in the production of gametes: sperm are cheaper than eggs. A single male can easily fertilize all of a female's eggs; she will not produce more offspring by mating with more than one male. A male is capable of fathering more offspring if he mates with several females.

  5. Sperm competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_competition

    A direct correlation was seen in sperm number and overall of food intake. More specifically, optimal sperm production was measured at a 1:2 protein to carbohydrate ratio. Sperm fertility was best at a similar protein to carbohydrate ratio of 1:2. This close alignment largely factors in determining male fertility in Nauphoeta cinerea. [42]

  6. Drosophila bifurca - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_bifurca

    Drosophila bifurca is a species of fruit fly. Males of this species are known to have the longest sperm cells of any organism on Earth—5.8 cm long when uncoiled, over twenty times the entire body length of the male. [1] The cells are mostly tail, and are delivered to the females in tangled coils.

  7. Gametogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gametogenesis

    The female gamete is produced inside the embryo sac of the ovule. In angiosperms the division of a generative cell into two, sperm nuclei, resulting in the production male gametes (always two), which develop inside the pollen grain (in 30% of species) or the pollen tube (in 70% of species), respectively, of the plant.

    “Adding protein or fat with fruit helps with satiation and can help lead to more balanced blood sugar levels,” says Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, M.S., R.D.N., founder of 360Girls&Women. “For ...

  9. Drosophila pseudoobscura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_pseudoobscura

    Monandrous female D. pseudoobscura do not obtain sufficient sperm or a plenty of suitable sperm for the fertilization. Even though monandrous female experiencing multiple copulations can produce more eggs than polyandrous female experiencing multiple copulations, monandrous females produce less offspring that survive into adulthood than polyandrous females do.
