Name a sex-linked genetic disorder?
Many different disorders are sex-linked. Saying something is sex-linked indicates that the gene causing the disorder can be found on one of the sex chromosomes, certain muscle disorders for example are sex-linked
What is the Study of male reproductive system?
Andrology is the medical study of the male reproductive system. But you will often find it combined into Urology.

Under the influence of hormone from Anterior Pituitary gland (F.S.H.) few follicles mature from bothovaries. By usually on day 14 of menses one (Occasionally two.) get ruptured releasing ovum into the 'Peritoneal' cavity (under influence of L.H. from anteriorPituitary.) It is trapped by theFimbriatedend ofFallopiantube. There are cilia in it, which propel the ovum towards the 'Uterus'. If it gets fertilized, then it starts dividing by the 'Mitosis' and a ball of cell is formed. Which get embedded in uterus to continue pregnancy. Otherwise it looses it's ability to get fertilized after abut 24 hours and then die and disintegrates, probably in Uterus. (Uterus does not have cilia to propel it any where but gravity may get it to lower end of Uterus or it may remain attached to uterine wall.)
What happens to the other sperm cells?
Well, usually it takes hundreds of sperm to penetrate the outer shell of the egg. They usually battle (I.E. they push and ram each other out of the egg) until there are very few sperm left , at this point the other sperm meets one of three fates. One; they die and are absorbed into the body. Two; they die and are urinated out. Three; if they are lucky there another egg, the sperm can live for up to three days and thus another egg within three days a the first fertilization will mean they get to fertilize it.
What female reproductive structure is functionally homologous to the testes?
The female reproductive organ that is functionally similar to the male testes is the ovaries. They store the female reproductive cells, the eggs. However, unlike the testes, they do not make the reproductive cells.
Which region of the uterine tube captures the ovum?
During ovulation, the ovum is released due to rupture of the Mature or Graafian follicle. The unfertilized ovum is captured by the fimbria of the tuba uterina or oviduct at the infundibulum region.
What happens if the reproductive system malfunctions?
You may not be able to have children if something goes wrong such as the uterus. If the uterus had something wrong with it, it may not be able to hold the baby. It really depends on what part of the female reproductive has something wrong
Can a man be born with all the female reproductive in the sexual organs system?
Yes. This is called ambiguous genitalia. It is a birth defect where the outer genitals do not have the typical appearance of either a boy or a girl. In this case, the outer genitals appear masculine and the inner ones are female.
What part of the body is responsible for making sperm?
The Testicles. They go to the epididymis to mature for a few monthes then through the vas deferens to the different glands then get ejaculated.
Human oocytes mature immediately after the surge of LH which occurs at ovulation. The surge of LH causes maturation of the oocyte which is the completion of the first division of meiosis.
How are the male and female reproductive system alike?
Both systems produce cells called gametes that has half the number of chromosomes as body cells do. One is called a sperm cell and the other is the egg. They both must come together to form a cell called a zygote that will form a new individual.
What does reproductive habits mean?
Reproductive habits refer to the behaviors and strategies that organisms use to reproduce and ensure the continuation of their species. This includes mating patterns, courtship behaviors, parental care, and the timing of reproductive events. These habits can vary widely among different species and are influenced by environmental factors, social structures, and evolutionary adaptations. Understanding reproductive habits is crucial for studying population dynamics and conservation efforts.
Is menstruation the process of releasing a mature ovum into the uterine tube each month?
One egg cell is released each month.
Why does fertilization occur in the fallopian tube?
The Ampulla -
Its the widest, longest portion of tube, it is usually the site of fertilization..
