Sexual and Aesexual Reproduction

Question 1

What is aesexual reproduction?

Answer 1

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

Question 2

Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are identical to the parent. What is this called?

Answer 2

Cloning

Question 3

What is the cell division in bacteria?

Answer 3

Binary Fission

Question 4

What is the cell division in humans?

Answer 4

Mitosis

Question 5

What is cell division?

Answer 5

The reproduction of cells by duplicating their genetic material

Question 6

What is parthenogenesis?

Answer 6

The type of asexual reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by male.

Question 7

How do fleas, aphids, and only some bees, reptiles and fish reproduce?

Answer 7

Aesexually, through parthenogenesis

Question 8

What is a runner?

Answer 8

Stem or root that comes out of a plant and produces new roots that create a genetically identical plant

Question 9

Why do humans grow?

Answer 9

Because the cells in their body reproduce

Question 10

How do plants reproduce?

Answer 10

By making a seed

Question 11

How do mushrooms reproduce?

Answer 11

They have spores

Question 12

How do some animals, like chickens, reproduce?

Answer 12

They lay eggs

Question 13

What is budding?

Answer 13

When a bud forms on one side of the cell and when it reaches maturity, it breaks off and turns into a new cell

Question 14

Which organism uses budding?

Answer 14

Yeast

Question 15

What is regeneration?

Answer 15

When a plant makes a new part to replace lost ones

Question 16

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

Answer 16

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.

Question 17

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

Answer 17

By cloning

Question 18

What is sexual reproduction?

Answer 18

Reproduction that requires both male and female parts

Question 19

When you reproduce sexually, are the offspring identical?

Answer 19

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

Question 20

How do plants sexually reproduce?

Answer 20

By spores, cones, or flowers

Question 21

What is cloning?

Answer 21

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

Question 22

What are the pros of aesexual reproduction?

Answer 22

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

Question 23

What are the cons of aesexual reproduction?

Answer 23

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

Question 24

What are some examples of organisms that reproduce aesexualy?

Answer 24

Plants, mushrooms, yeast, cells, some fish…

Question 25

What are the male reproductive organs of a flower called?

Answer 25

The stamen

Question 26

What are the female reproductive organs called?

Answer 26

The carpel or pistil

Question 27

Can flowers have both male and female parts?

Answer 27

Yes, in fact, most of them do

Question 28

What are the female parts of a plant?

Answer 28

The ovary, the ovule, the stigma and the style

Question 29

What are the male parts of the flower called?

Answer 29

The anther and the filament

Question 30

What is the stigma?

Answer 30

It receives the pollen during pollination

Question 31

What is the style?

Answer 31

A tube on top of the ovary

Question 32

What is an ovary?

Answer 32

The female reproductive organ

Question 33

What is an ovule?

Answer 33

The reproductive cell that becomes the seed when fertilized

Question 34

What is the anther?

Answer 34

The male reproductive cell that contains pollen

Question 35

What is the filament?

Answer 35

The filament holds the anther

Question 36

How does the flower produce seeds?

Answer 36

The anther produces pollen which must land on the pistil in order to fertilize the flower so it can produce seeds

Question 37

How is the pollen moved from the stamen to the pistil?

Answer 37

Due to wind and other organisms such as the birds and bees

Question 38

What is self pollination?

Answer 38

When the pollen from the anther lands on the pistil of the same flower

Question 39

What is cross pollination?

Answer 39

When the pollen from the stamen of one flower moves to the pistol of another flower

Question 40

How is the seed developed?

Answer 40

- 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

Question 41

How is the seed dispersed?

Answer 41

By wind, water, humans and even plants can do it by shooting out a seed

Question 42

What is the first step of self pollination?
