Reproductive Strategies

Question 1

Asexual Reporduction
-what kind of offspring is produced
-what main process is involved
-are gametes involved?

Answer 1

genetically identical
mitosis
no

Question 2

Sexual Reproduction
-production of what, by what process?
-followed by what from parental gametes
-what offspring is produced

Answer 2

-production of gametes by meiosis
-fertalization
-genetically distinct

Question 3

Asexual Reproduction examples:
-Binary fission: what happens
-Conjugation: is it a form of reproduction? What happens instead?
-Budding
-Vegetative Reproduction
-Fragmentation

Answer 3

1. basic mitosis
2. NO. genetic materical can be transfered from 2 bacteria
3. mini version of parent grows out on the side. mitosis
4. plants spread across via stems. mitosis

Question 4

Parthenogenesis
-what kind of repro.
-what is produced, and what develops into an adult

Answer 4

asexual
-both fertalized and unfertalized eggs can develop into adult (one is diploid and the other is haploid)

Question 5

Alteration of generations in plants
-plants alternate between what 2 generations?

-What is Alteration of Sexual Cycles?

Answer 5

1. diploid (sporophyte)
2. haploid (gametophyte)

-some organisms will switch between reproducing sexually and asexually
