Large numbers of gametes are necessary in spawning to increase the probability of successful fertilization. By releasing many gametes, the chances of at least some of them encountering and fertilizing another gamete are improved, increasing the likelihood of successful reproduction. This strategy helps compensate for external factors such as water currents that can disperse gametes widely.

What produces male gametes in large numbers?

The testes are responsible for producing male gametes, called sperm. Sperm are produced in large numbers through the process of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.


Which organelles would be present in large numbers in cells that carry out photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts would be found in large numbers in green plants as that is where photosynthesis takes place.


What type of fertilization requires A great excess of a sperm gametes because most are wasted?

Broadcast fertilization requires a great excess of egg and sperm gametes because most are wasted. Aquatic animals, such as starfish and sea urchin, mate in this manner.

What is the largest known Fibonacci number?

Unlike some other types of numbers like prime numbers, calculating large Fibonacci numbers can be done quite easily with even a standard household computer. The process involves only repeated addition (rather than the intense division processes involved with large prime numbers). Beyond that, large Fibonacci numbers do not serve as much purpose as other large numbers (like primes). Because of this, these large numbers are generally left for quick calculation by machine if ever necessary. An example of a computer program that could calculate the nth Fibonacci number (n greater than 1 and counting the first 1 in the sequence as the second term) is given below in pseudo-code: Function Fibonacci(n) a = 0 b = 1 k = 2 While n > k ( a + b = c a = b b = c k = k + 1 ) Print b A very large Fibonacci number is the 250th in the sequence which has a value of: 12776523572924732586037033894655031898659556447352249. The 1000th term in the sequence is: 4346655768693745643568852767504062580256466051737178040248172908953655 5417949051890403879840079255169295922593080322634775209689623239873322 471161642996440906533187938298969649928516003704476137795166849228875. Much, much larger values (even beyond the 10,000,000th term) can be calculated quite quickly with a simple, well-written program. See related links for a site which can quickly calculate large Fibonacci numbers (using the form Fibonacci n).

What is synchronized spawning?

Synchronized spawning is a reproductive strategy observed in many marine organisms, where individuals of the same species release gametes simultaneously to increase the likelihood of fertilization. This phenomenon often occurs in response to environmental cues, such as changes in temperature, lunar cycles, or tides. By synchronizing their spawning events, these organisms enhance genetic diversity and improve the survival rates of their offspring by overwhelming predators with large numbers of eggs and larvae. Examples can be found in various species, including corals and some fish.


How are starfish sperm and eggs an adaptive advantage?

Starfish produce a large number of sperms and eggs as they breed with a process called free-spawning. To make the process of the gametes of opposite sexes meet, the starfish will release a chemical that attracts other starfish.

What are Sea urchins physical adaptations?

-They produce a large amount of gametes -They synchronize spawning so there are both sperm and eggs present at the same time -Males usually spawn upstream so sperm gets carried to eggs -Eggs adhere to the spines of the female urchin to keep them from floating away to make it easier for sperm to reach them


Scientific notation is a way of making numbers scientific.?

No, it is not. In many branches of science it is necessary to deal with numbers which are very large or very small and scientific notation is used to represent such numbers more easily.
