4. There are definitely some advantages to this method over Internal Fertilization. In External Fertilization, more offspring’s can be produced at once due to a large number of eggs being fertilized at once. Additionally, in External Fertilization, it is easier to find mates since any fish can come along and fertilize the eggs. The eggs can be fertilized even if the area where the eggs were laid did not have any male fish since the eggs can be carried by strong currents or other animals to another area. Also as stated before, there is higher genetic variation due to there being multiple sources of sperm. Moreover, the eggs do not require special structures to protect them (ex: placenta) and likewise, the fertilized eggs are protected from environmental …show more content…
In terms of survival, I believe that the Internal Fertilization is better than External Fertilization and this is mainly because of the low success rate in External Fertilization. There is a low success rate because as the sperm is released into the water to fertilize the egg, the sperm might not make it to the egg. In fact, many of the sperm die before they reach the egg. Likewise, even if an egg is fertilized, it may be destroyed if an animal eats it or due to other environmental reasons such as temperature or Ph level. Furthermore, the eggs in External Fertilization do not have a coating to cover them and keep them safe from air exposure. Additionally, due to the fact that the parent does not care for its young even after it has hatched out of its egg, the fish becomes vulnerable to other predators eating it. On the other hand, in Internal Fertilization (within humans), the foetus is protected at all times due to it being within the womb of the mother surrounded by a placenta. This keeps it safe from outside predation. In Internal Fertilization in humans, there is a higher chance the Sperm and Egg will meet since there is a relatively short distance between the Egg and Sperm and also because the sperm is within an enclosed area. Furthermore, in Humans, mates become more selective and can be chosen instead of in bony fish where many multiple male fish release their semen onto the eggs. This selective mating could be a good thing because it decreases the chance of …show more content…
The heart is a organ within the fish which is very muscular and its job is to pump blood throughout the body of the fish. It is located behind (and below) the gills. In bony fish and in many other fish however; there are only two chambers within the heart. They are the Atrium and the Ventricle with the Atrium being the one that receives the blood and the Ventricle the one that pumps the blood. The reason fish hearts are like this is because circulation within the fish goes in one direction only whereas in humans it goes in two directions. Essentially what occurs is de-oxygenated blood comes from the body of the fish through veins and accumulates in the sinus venosus (a chamber like area which initiates contractions) and then enters the atrium of the heart. Then the blood is pumped into its Ventricle and then as the Ventricle contracts, blood is pumped into the bulbus arteriosus (a tube) which has some functions such as decreasing the blood pressure as to protect the Gills from damage. The blood then goes into the Aorta from which is travel to the Gills. As the blood travels through the many capillaries present within the Gills, gas exchange occurs and then the oxygenated blood goes to the rest of the body’s cells through

In-vetro fertilization is also a direct result of research done with the HeLa cells (“Popular
Dr. Tatiana’s sex advice to all creation By: Olivia Judson The book Dr. Tatiana’s sex advice to all creation is a exhilarating, funny, and a illuminating experience. The book is composed of all possible creatures by letter about their sex lives that is explained by one person, Dr. Tatiana, a sex columnist in creation with a vigorous amount of knowledge of evolutionary biology.
Heart, lungs and the Rest of You By: Olivia Abel 1.Explain how the blood flows throughout your lungs, heart and the rest of your body. Heart: Your left and right side of your heart work together to pump blood to and throughout your body which is separated by muscular tissue called the septum. In the right side blood enters through two large vein which are the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying poor oxygen blood from the body to the right reticulum. When the left side enters from the pulmonary veins and empties oxygen rich blood from the lungs into the aorta going throughout the body.
This freaks Elita74 out. How could this happen, what went wrong? She blames the horrific result on the female’s womb, “there must be something wrong with your womb”. She tried the process again on another female and yet again the same thing occurred. She soon realizes that it is unsafe to have the females be unconscious for such a long period of time every time they ingest one of the eggs; and it is also unhuman to have half human-half frogs.
There is a steady amount of pro’s and con’s to IVF, one must be open to all of them when considering this procedure. When a male has a lack or sperm or poor semein analysis, sperm donation may be a reliable source. Other times, sperm donation can be used when a female has no partner but wants to become pregnant. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is used in the common procedure used in sperm donations around the globe. This process is relatable to the normal IVF procedure, only the sperm donor is unknown.
In the ever-changing world of science, in vitro fertilization has taken fertility to another level. In “Test-Tube Babies: Solution or Problem?” Ruth Hubbard describes just how in vitro fertilization works and the many risks factors the procedure brings with it. Hubbard gives her audience statistical evidence of women with unsuccessful pregnancies then follows it with historical evidence about the first women to ever receive in vitro Louise Brown in July, 1978. Although one might conclude that Hubbard would support in vitro she makes a shocking statement “But as a woman, a feminist, and a biologist, I am opposed to using it and developing it further.”
During random fertilization, no gamete has a greater chance than the other with fusing together in sperm and zygote fusion. These processes contribute to the production of genetic variety because of the many opportunities of unique combinations, unlike the process of mitosis, in which identical daughter cells are always the
The choice in itself being tough involves medical risks too whereas there is always a bright side. Countering these are also some pros of the procedure. The self-blame game, the regrets of not being able to fit into the ideal motherhood and family life cut down to almost zilch. Egg Freezing as a process doesn’t have dependency on anybody else except for you, which makes it easier to opt for. It gives a woman enhanced reproductive health and so much more time to concentrate on things that cannot wait.
Fortunately, there are other methods to having kids, such as adoption. II. Thesis
One con is that there can be a termination of embryos. This means a miscarriage and that wouldn’t be good because you would pay so much money for the baby and the baby could die. There is also another con and that is that there is a possibility of there being damage to the gene pool. In other word this means that it can increase or decrease the genes in the baby and the next generation. Also the genetics of the baby can come out imperfect.
This apparently makes me feel astounded, as this kind of terminology is used to describe the fertilization process. Instead of using such fairy tale metaphors, real life, true and non-biased examples would have provided better
In vitro fertilization is the process by which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside of the body and then the embryo or embryos are then transferred to the uterus. This process has been used since the 1970’s and doctors keep finding ways to improve it. People worldwide have a very divided opinions about the use of IVF. Some see it as an opportunity to have a family and being able to have kids at an age where they feel comfortable enough, instead of having kids at an early age because of the risks that they would have if they wait. Women also have a better chance of getting their preferred job position if they know that they do not have to decide between a healthy baby or their job.
Everyone is entitled to choose their own lifestyle, whether they want to have a child or not. Some females who seek to have children find it easy, although some are unfortunate. There are numerous of reasonings, such as being too old to be pregnant, damage to the Fallopian tube or uterus and cancer radiation or chemotherapy. As our generation goes on, many discoveries revolving biology is produced and one of it is the In Vitro Fertilization or “IVF”. It is the procedure of fertilization where they save sperm sample, take an egg from the women and physically combining it in a laboratory dish where the egg and the sperm is now called an embryo.
The fertilization may be internal or external. It depends on organism and its environment in which that animal live. In external fertilization many invertebrates simply release their gametes into water in which they live and allow them to fertilize (e.g. sponges and corals), while in some other invertebrates utilize internal fertilization to transfer sperm
