Reproductive System Flashcards
Is the biological process by which new individual organisms - “offspring”-are produced from their parents.
Reproduction
What are the 2 types of reproduction?
Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
Is a process by which organisms create genetically similar or identical copies of themselves without the contribution of genetic material from another organism.
Asexual Reproduction
Bacteria divide asexually via ______ _______; viruses take control of host cells to produce more viruses.
Binary Fission
Hydras and yeasts are able to reproduce by _______.
Budding
Is the growth and development of embryo or seed without fertilization by a male.
Parthenogenesis
Is a biological process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms in a process that starts with meiosis, a specialized type of cell division.
Sexual Reproduction
Most unicellular organisms reproduce _________.
Asexually
Is a form of asexual reproduction where every organelle is copied and the organism divides into two. Ex: Bacteria and Protists.
Binary Fission
By the means of splitting of a cell or organism into many cells or organism. Ex: Flatworms and Annelids.
Multiple Fission
Asexual reproduction whereby a new individual develops from an outgrowth of a parent, splits off, and lives independently. Ex: Hydra.
Budding
It is whereby a single parent breaks into parts that regenerate into whole new individuals. Ex: Molds and Planaria.
Fragmentation
Can produce without sperm and normal fertilization. A spontaneous activation of a mature egg, followed by normal egg divisions and subsequent embryonic development.
Parthenogenesis
Occurs when a body part has broken off and the organism grows a new one.
