They can present with complains of amebnorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, bad obstetrical outcome and infertility etc. Unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn is very rare. The incidence of this is 1/100,000. Normally rudimentary horns are non- functional and non-communicating. But if they have functional endometrium they can develop hematometra. We are presenting a case of hematometra and pain in a patient with rudimentary non communicating horn with functional endometrium. Rudimentary horn should be kept as a differential diagnosis in pelvic pain. Keywords: Unicornuate uterus; Rudimentary horn; Dysmenorrhea were found in the pelvis. Exploratory laparotomy was decided and the rudimentary horn was excised by applying clamps (Figure 2).

Gametes are also called sex cells, and are used to create offspring with a mixture of genetic information. Male gametes are called sperm Female gametes are called -produce 300-500 million per 5ml eggs/ova of semen -70,000-100,000 at birth -release 1-2 per month from puberty to menopause. Sex Hormones are chemical? signals that tell the sex organs how to function. Sex Hormones are chemical signals that tell the sex organs how to function. Male hormone is called Female hormones are estrogen testosterone and progesterone -released from the testes -released from the ovary -controls sperm production -controls egg production & release Duct systems help deliver gametes from gonads and are the site of fertilization in females and delivers sperm out of the body in males. Male duct systems include: Epididymis -site of sperm maturation (about 20 days for sperm to mature) Male duct systems include: Vas deferens -Tube for sperm to travel through as they leave the testes Male duct systems include: Urethra -shared tube for release of semen from reproductive tract and urine from the bladder.

  • Reproduction Methods
    1336 Chapter 43 | Animal Reproduction and Development fertilization. Seahorses, like the one shown in Figure 43.1, provide an example of the latter. Following a mating dance, the female lays eggs in the male seahorse’s abdominal brood pouch where they are fertilized. The eggs hatch and the offspring develop in the pouch for several weeks. 43.1 | Reproduction Methods By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: • Describe advantages and disadvantages of asexual and sexual reproduction • Discuss asexual reproduction methods • Discuss sexual reproduction methods Animals produce offspring through asexual and/or sexual reproduction. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly. In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment asexually-reproducing species may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not have the genetic variation to survive in new or different conditions. On the other hand, the rapid rates of asexual reproduction may allow for a speedy response to environmental changes if individuals have mutations. An additional advantage of asexual reproduction is that colonization of new habitats may be easier when an individual does not need to find a mate to reproduce. During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

  • REVIEW Physiological Dependence on Copulation in Parthenogenetic Females Can Reduce the Cost of Sex
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 2004, 67, 811e822 doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2003.05.014 REVIEW Physiological dependence on copulation in parthenogenetic females can reduce the cost of sex M. NEIMAN Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington (Received 6 December 2002; initial acceptance 10 April 2003; final acceptance 27 May 2003; MS. number: ARV-25) Despite the two-fold reproductive advantage of asexual over sexual reproduction, the majority of eukaryotic species are sexual. Why sex is so widespread is still unknown and remains one of the most important unanswered questions in evolutionary biology. Although there are several hypothesized mechanisms for the maintenance of sex, all require assumptions that may limit their applicability. I suggest that the maintenance of sex may be aided by the detrimental retention of ancestral traits related to sexual reproduction in the asexual descendants of sexual taxa. This reasoning is based on the fact that successful reproduction in many obligately sexual species is dependent upon the behavioural, physical and physiological cues that accompany sperm delivery. More specifically, I suggest that although parthenogenetic (asexual) females have no need for sperm per se, parthenogens descended from sexual ancestors may not be able to reach their full reproductive potential in the absence of the various stimuli provided by copulatory behaviour. This mechanism is novel in assuming no intrinsic advantage to producing genetically variable offspring; rather, sex is maintained simply through phylogenetic constraint. I review and synthesize relevant literature and data showing that access to males and copulation increases reproductive output in both sexual and parthenogenetic females. These findings suggest that the current predominance of sexual reproduction, despite its well-documented drawbacks, could in part be due to the retention of physiological dependence on copulatory stimuli in parthenogenetic females.
