Reproduction in Plants

Question 1

meiosis

Answer 1

When gametes cell divide to produce for daughter cells
Give rise to genetically dissimilar cells in which chromosome nmber is halved/produce haploid cells due to separation of homologous chromosomes
(2n to n,n,n,n)

Question 2

sexual reproduction

Answer 2

process involving fusion of nuclei from male & female gamete through fertilisation to form a zygote
genetically dissimilar offspring
involves meiosis

Question 3

importance of mitosis

Answer 3

ensures growth of organism
repair worn-out parts
asexual reproduction

Question 4

pollination

Answer 4

transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma

Question 5

asexual reproduction

Answer 5

process resulting in productiobn of genetically identical offspring from one parent without gametes

Question 6

mitosis

Answer 6

a cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells
each daughter has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
after zygote formed
(2n to 2n,2n)

Question 7

importance of meiosis

Answer 7

allows organism to produce haploid sex gametes for sexual reproduction
increase genetic variation
