Our estimate of reproductive success spans the stages of
gamete production, mating, spawning, egg - to - fry emergence and juvenile survival, and selection could have acted at any or all of these times.
In the future, Levitan said his team would like to examine the quality of
gamete production and also determine if corals that have already bleached are more or less likely to bleach again.
They have spent more than a decade piecing together the subtle details of mammalian
gamete production and then recreating that process in vitro — all for the sake of science, not medicine.
Not exact matches
Because greater numbers of
gametes gives one mating type a selective advantage — more chance of successful fertilisation — the other mating type will be forced to produce larger, and therefore fewer,
gametes to enable the
production of the larger zygote.»
Furthermore, the requirement of mouse Boule for male reproduction and its dispensability for female fertility suggests that low level expression of Boule in embryonic germ cells and adult ovaries is not essential for either the development of germ cells or the
production of female
gametes.
Sex - specific traits that lead to the
production of dimorphic
gametes, sperm in males and eggs in females, are fundamental for sexual reproduction and accordingly widespread among animals.
