The fertilized egg implants and develops in the uterus.
Is there such thing as a boy slash girl?
you mean like a he-she? or an it? lol no. there's boys and girls, that's it. Unless you're a transvestite, meaning you change your gender. But otherwise there's no natural way to be both a boy and girl.
The answer you don't usually get in sex-ed class, but should:The above answer is not quite true. There is another option, intersex, which is an umbrella term that covers a lot of natural variation. There are people born with the reproductive parts of both genders; there are people born with the chromosomes of one gender (eg XY) and the anatomy of the other (eg F); there are people with extra chromosomes (eg XXY); there is androgyny, with little or no physical gender cues.
Our culture is uncomfortable with this ambiguity, pushing intersex people (or their parents) to give a single-gender identity, regardless of its aptness. Babies with both 'parts' were traditionally given surgery at birth to assign a single gender, usually female if the male penis was irregular, small, etc. The odd thinking behind this is that the penis makes the man. Now more genetic testing and assessments are made to medically determine pros and cons of each.
As a side note, transvestite is just when you wear clothes of the opposite gender, and has nothing to do with how you feel in your own skin or your sexual preferences. Transgender is when you change your gender.
Difference between a male and female grasshopper?
the female is much bigger tha the male.the shape of the male tale is thin and the females is bigger so she can hold 120 eggs.
Why are offspring of organisms that reproduce sexually not genetically different to their parents?
A human's DNA contains about 3 billion base pairs of DNA segments. The cells themselves contain two copies of each base pair. These base pairs are split at random in the sex cells. Offspring get half of their DNA base pairs from one parent and half from the other. So let's say for example, a simple 5 base pair organism looked like this: This represents the "male" ACTGC CTAGA The sperm cell from this male could be any one of these: ATAGA ACAGA ACTGA CCTGC CTTGC CTAGC and so on for a possible 25 combinations (some would be duplicates) Then MOM would be the same way. So the offspring could theoretically have 625 possible genetic combinations. (again, there would be several duplicates so t he actual number is lower I jhust don't feel like sorting through all 625 to find them.) So with a human being with a sex cell of 3 billion base pairs, you get something like 9
What are the prime factors of 1100?
As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*5*5*11 = 1100 or as 22*52*11 = 1100
What is the anterior pituitary hormone needed for spermatogenesis?
In men, follicle stimulating hormone starts spermatogenesis. This hormone is also abbreviated FSH.
How do you avoid infection of external parts of your reproductive system?
There are a number of ways to prevent infection in the genital area, mainly by practising good hygiene:
After a bowel movement, always wipe from front to back, this helps prevent the spread of bacteria from the rectum to the genitals.
Keep the area clean with plain unscented soap and water - avoid perfumed toiletries as these can cause more irritation
Wearing cotton underwear helps absorb moisture and keeps the area dry (bacteria love moist conditions!)
Wash and dry the area well before and after sex
Always use a condom during sex
Can a man and an ape have offspring?
Technically, Man is a species of ape. The other species of ape and Man are very closely related. And if two species are related closely enough (as with, for instance, donkeys and horses), they might be able to produce hybrid offspring. Of course having a recent enough common ancestor in itself is not a guarantee that it is possible for Humans and Chimps to hybridize, but it might still be possible.
Which substances are involved in the major system of biological fluids except oxygen?
The most important substances in biological systems are electrolytes and glucose. These are essential for metabolism, the electrolytes allow the chemical processes to conduct their interactions and the glucose is the energy that is used during metabolism.
Why is gametogenesis important?
Gametogenesis is important because it produces the sex cells needed for sexual reproduction. It halves the number of chromosomes so that the fertilized egg has a 2n complement.

Is there a way to garentee a girl baby?
There are simple technique that have been used to conceive a girl.
They include:
1. Eating special foods
2. Having Sex at a specific time during the month
3. Have sex in a specific position
Can a woman be allergic to rubber vibrators in the vagina?
Generally allergic reactions like this are due to the rubber in the vibrator, rather than the introduction of the object itself. Using different brands and compounds may solve the problem.
What are the external organs of the female reproductive system?
The mammary glands are an external female reproductive organ.
Does corpus luteum secretes inhibin?
Yes. Corpus luteum sectretes estrogen to inhibit further release of GnRH and secretion of LH and FSH and to prepare and maintain the endometrium for implantation of a fertilized ovum and to prepare mammary glands for milk secretion (this last part explains another influence of protein anabolism stimulation by estrogen).
