  2. External fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_fertilization

    External fertilization is a mode of reproduction in which a male organism's sperm fertilizes a female organism's egg outside of the female's body. [1] It is contrasted with internal fertilization , in which sperm are introduced via insemination and then combine with an egg inside the body of a female organism.

  3. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    Depending on the animal species, the process can occur within the body of the female in internal fertilization, or outside in the case of external fertilization. The fertilized egg cell is known as the zygote. [2] [5] To prevent more than one sperm fertilizing the egg , fast block and slow block to polyspermy are used. Fast block, the membrane ...

  4. Modes of reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_reproduction

    The biologist Thierry Lodé proposed (2001, 2012) five modes of reproduction based on the relationship between the zygote (fertilised egg) and the parents: [1] [2]. Ovuliparity: fertilisation is external, the oocytes being released into the environment and fertilised outside the body by the male. [1]

  5. Fertilisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilisation

    Oviparous animals producing eggs with thin tertiary membranes or no membranes at all, on the other hand, use external fertilisation methods. Such animals may be more precisely termed ovuliparous. [21] External fertilisation is advantageous in that it minimises contact (which decreases the risk of disease transmission), and greater genetic ...

  6. Sperm motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_motility

    Sperm motility describes the ability of sperm to move properly through the female reproductive tract (internal fertilization) or through water (external fertilization) to reach the egg. Sperm motility can also be thought of as the quality , which is a factor in successful conception ; sperm that do not "swim" properly will not reach the egg in ...

  7. Sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction

    Aquatic arthropods may breed by external fertilization, as for example horseshoe crabs do, [33] or by internal fertilization, where the ova remain in the female's body and the sperm must somehow be inserted. All known terrestrial arthropods use internal fertilization.

    Not all ghost towns are from the Old West, and the reasons vary why a popular tourist destination might become abandoned. Here are 16 from Detroit to Taiwan.

  9. Human fertilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_fertilization

    Human fertilization is the union of an egg and sperm, occurring primarily in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. [1] The result of this union leads to the production of a fertilized egg called a zygote, initiating embryonic development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the 19th century. [2]
