Document Summary

Biol 106 human genetics and health dr. major. In order to understand how conjoined twins come about, it is necessary that you first understand how an early embryo is formed. A sperm cell is structured in a way to promote the possibility of fertilization: #1 fertilization: sperm (haploid) and egg (haploid) nuclei fuse together to form zygote (diploid) #2 cleavage: zygote undergoes a series of rapid cell divisions to form a blastocyst. #3 gastrulation: cells begin to move around to form three cell layers. A tail that contains microtubules and dynein motor protein that whip the sperm cell forward to the egg. A midpiece that contains a lot of mitochondria to produce the energy needed for the long migration to the egg. An acrosome that contains enzymes that will spill out to digest the jelly that surrounds the egg. 2 the heat of the ampulla attracts the sperm (thermotaxis) 3 chemicals secreted by the egg attract the sperm (chemotaxis)
