Q

TYPE OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: where two individuals will form as the parents and divide in half

A

FISSION

17
Q

2 TYPES OF FISSION

A

BINARY & MULTIPLE

18
Q

TYPE OF FISSION? involves two individuals formed from a single parent

A

BINARY FISSION

19
Q

TYPE OF FISSION? result in several off-springs that formed from a single parent

A

MULTIPLE FISSION

20
Q

TYPE OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: involves the breaking of body parts into fragments, followed by regeneration, and regrowth of lost parts

A

FRAGMENTATION

21
Q

TYPE OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: happens when an outgrowth, called a bud, grows and develops from the parent animal. The bud separates to become a new individual or remain attach in the form of a colony

A

BUDDING

22
Q

Needs two parents to produce an offspring. Involves male and female parents to produce offspring through the fusion of gametes (sperm & egg cells)

A

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

23
Q

the fusion of gametes (sperm & egg cells) generated by

A

MEIOSIS

24
Q

THIS increases THE chances of species variation

A

The combination of genes from both parents

25
Q

union of gametes that lead to the development of a new individual.

A

FERTILIZATION

26
Q

2 TYPES OF FERTILIZATION

A

EXTERNAL & INTERNAL

27
Q

TYPE OF FERTILIZATION? union of egg and sperm occurs outside the female reproductive tract. Common among aquatic animals, especially in most bony fish and amphibians

A

EXTERNAL FERTILIZATION

28
Q

TYPE OF FERTILIZATION? union of egg and sperm occurs within the female reproductive tract. The male parent releases the sperm cells into the reproductive tract of the female parent

A

INTERNAL FERTILIZATION

29
Q

3 WAYS ANIMALS PRODUCE OFFSPRINGS IN INTERNAL FERTILIZATION:

A
  • OVIPARITY
  • OVOVIVIPARITY
  • VIVIPARITY
30
Q

WAY OF INTERNAL FERTILIZATION? eggs are fertilized internally, but development completes outside the mother’s body

A

OVIPARITY

31
Q

WAY OF INTERNAL FERTILIZATION? embryos develop inside eggs that are retained within the mother’s body until they’re ready to hatch

A

OVOVIVIPARITY

32
Q

WAY OF INTERNAL FERTILIZATION? eggs are fertilized internally. Embryos receive nourishment directly from the mother’s blood through the placenta

A

VIVIPARITY
