Text of the page (random words):
ke mammals are noted for their high level of parental care reptiles edit main article reptiles reproduction reptiles are almost all sexually dimorphic and exhibit internal fertilization through the cloaca some reptiles lay eggs while others are ovoviviparous animals that deliver live young reproductive organs are found within the cloaca of reptiles most male reptiles have copulatory organs which are usually retracted or inverted and stored inside the body in turtles and crocodilians the male has a single median penis like organ while male snakes and lizards each possess a pair of penis like organs a male common frog in nuptial colors waiting for more females to come in a mass of spawn amphibians edit main article amphibian reproduction most amphibians exhibit external fertilization of eggs typically within the water though some amphibians such as caecilians have internal fertilization 24 all have paired internal gonads connected by ducts to the cloaca fish edit main article fish reproduction fish exhibit a wide range of different reproductive strategies most fish however are oviparous and exhibit external fertilization in this process females use their cloaca to release large quantities of their gametes called spawn into the water and one or more males release milt a white fluid containing many sperm over the unfertilized eggs other species of fish are oviparous and have internal fertilization aided by pelvic or anal fins that are modified into an intromittent organ analogous to the human penis 25 a small portion of fish species are either viviparous or ovoviviparous and are collectively known as livebearers 26 fish gonads are typically pairs of either ovaries or testicles most fish are sexually dimorphic but some species are hermaphroditic or unisexual 27 invertebrates edit see also reproductive system of gastropods and reproductive system of planarians invertebrates have an extremely diverse array of reproductive systems the only commonality may be that they all lay eggs also aside from cephalopods and arthropods nearly all other invertebrates exhibit external fertilization cephalopods edit main article cephalopod reproduction and life cycle all cephalopods are sexually dimorphic and reproduce by laying eggs most cephalopods have semi internal fertilization in which the male places his gametes inside the female s mantle cavity or pallial cavity to fertilize the ova found in the female s single ovary 28 likewise male cephalopods have only a single testicle in the female of most cephalopods the nidamental glands aid in development of the egg the penis in most unshelled male cephalopods coleoidea is a long and muscular end of the gonoduct used to transfer spermatophores to a modified arm called a hectocotylus that in turn is used to transfer the spermatophores to the female in species where the hectocotylus is missing the penis is long and able to extend beyond the mantle cavity and transfer the spermatophores directly to the female insects edit main article insect reproductive system most insects reproduce oviparously i e by laying eggs the eggs are produced by the female in a pair of ovaries sperm produced by the male in one testis or more commonly two is transmitted to the female during mating by means of external genitalia the sperm is stored within the female in one or more spermathecae at the time of fertilization the eggs travel along oviducts to be fertilized by the sperm and are then expelled from the body laid in most cases via an ovipositor arachnids edit main article arachnids reproduction see also opiliones penis arachnids may have one or two gonads which are located in the abdomen the genital opening is usually located on the underside of the second abdominal segment in most species the male transfers sperm to the female in a package or spermatophore complex courtship rituals have evolved in many arachnids to ensure the safe delivery of the sperm to the female 29 arachnids usually lay yolky eggs which hatch into immatures that resemble adults scorpions however are either ovoviviparous or viviparous depending on species and bear live young plants edit main article plant reproductive morphology further information sex organ plants among all living organisms flowers which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity in methods of reproduction 30 plants that are not flowering plants green algae mosses liverworts hornworts ferns and gymnosperms such as conifers also have complex interplays between morphological adaptation and environmental factors in their sexual reproduction the breeding system or how the sperm from one plant fertilizes the ovum of another depends on the reproductive morphology and is the single most important determinant of the genetic structure of nonclonal plant populations christian konrad sprengel 1793 studied the reproduction of flowering plants and for the first time it was understood that the pollination process involved both biotic and abiotic interactions fungi edit main article fungi reproduction further information sex organ fungi fungal reproduction is complex reflecting the differences in lifestyles and genetic makeup within this diverse kingdom of organisms 31 it is estimated that a third of all fungi reproduce using more than one method of propagation for example reproduction may occur in two well differentiated stages within the life cycle of a species the teleomorph and the anamorph 32 environmental conditions trigger genetically determined developmental states that lead to the creation of specialized structures for sexual or asexual reproduction these structures aid reproduction by efficiently dispersing spores or spore containing propagules see also edit major systems of the human body reproductive system disease human sexuality human sexual behavior plant sexuality meiosis references edit introduction to the
