W gametes: cell structure linked to function Sperm Cells: - Tail: to be able to swim. - Pointed head: streamlined for swimming and entering egg. - Lots of mitrochondria: energy needed to swim, mitrochondria need to release energy through respiration. How is a sperm cell structure linked to is function?
W gametes: cell structure linked to function Egg Cells: - Large food store for initial growth How is a egg cell structure linked to is function?
T Fertilisation occurs when the sperm's nucleus fuses with eggs nucleus. This forms a zygote. What happens during fertilisation?
W Gametes only contain half the DNA of a 'normal' cell. How does a gamete compare from a 'normal cell'?
T To result in a pregnancy fertilisation must occur in the oviduct tubes. Where must fertilisation occur for a pregnancy to be possible?
