(42 cards)

1
Q

What is aesexual reproduction?

A

Asexual reproduction only needs the involvement of one part of the organism and does not require the presence of male and female parts.

Q

Cloning is an example of regeneration. What happens in cloning?

A

When a leaf or a stem is cut off from the main plant, and planted into a moist environment. As a result, a new plant is formed.

Q

How to strawberry bushes, roses, trembling aspen tree reproduce?

18
Q

What is sexual reproduction?

A

Reproduction that requires both male and female parts

19
Q

When you reproduce sexually, are the offspring identical?

A

No, they may share similarities but have genes from both parents

20
Q

How do plants sexually reproduce?

A

By spores, cones, or flowers

21
Q

What is cloning?

A

When a leaf or stem is cut off from the main plant and put in moist materials to grow a new plant

22
Q

What are the pros of aesexual reproduction?

A
  • easier and faster because you don’t have to find a mate
23
Q

What are the cons of aesexual reproduction?

A

Bacteria, like parasites, figure out a way to enter way easier because they only have to learn one set of DNA because all organisms of that species are identical

24
Q

What are some examples of organisms that reproduce aesexualy?

A

Plants, mushrooms, yeast, cells, some fish…

25
What are the male reproductive organs of a flower called?
The stamen
26
What are the female reproductive organs called?
The carpel or pistil
27
Can flowers have both male and female parts?
Yes, in fact, most of them do
28
What are the female parts of a plant?
The ovary, the ovule, the stigma and the style
29
What are the male parts of the flower called?
The anther and the filament
30
What is the stigma?
It receives the pollen during pollination
31
What is the style?
A tube on top of the ovary
32
What is an ovary?
The female reproductive organ
33
What is an ovule?
The reproductive cell that becomes the seed when fertilized
34
What is the anther?
The male reproductive cell that contains pollen
35
What is the filament?
The filament holds the anther
36
How does the flower produce seeds?
The anther produces pollen which must land on the pistil in order to fertilize the flower so it can produce seeds
37
How is the pollen moved from the stamen to the pistil?
Due to wind and other organisms such as the birds and bees
38
What is self pollination?
When the pollen from the anther lands on the pistil of the same flower
39
What is cross pollination?
When the pollen from the stamen of one flower moves to the pistol of another flower
40
How is the seed developed?
- the male gamete (spermatozoon) enters the female gamete (ovule) a zygote is formed - the cells divide and become a seed which will eventually grow into an adult plant
41
How is the seed dispersed?
By wind, water, humans and even plants can do it by shooting out a seed
42
What is the first step of self pollination?
