1
Q

What are the characteristics of asexual reproduction?

A
  • It’s based on the mitotic division of nucleus
  • It’s rapid and effective
  • Offspring are clones of the parents

Q

What are the disadvantages of asexual reproduction?

A

Cannot purge deleterious mutation and low diversity means less able to adapt to environmental change

Q

What’s a gametophyte?

A

The haploid phase of the alternation of generation which produce gametes

17
Q

What’s a sporophyte?

A

The diploid phase of the alternation of generation which produce spores

18
Q

What’s heteromorphic sex cycle?

A

The two generations differ in terms of morphology

19
Q

What’s isomorphic sex cycle?

A

The two generations are the same despite genetic differences

20
Q

What’s haplontic sex cycle?

A

Most of the life cycle is haploid and the diploid phase is unicellular

21
Q

What’s a diplontic sex cycle?

A

All cells except gametes are diploid

22
Q

What’s antheriudium?

A

Is a male sex organ in which sperm are produced in large numbers

23
Q

What’s archegonium?

A

Is a multicellular, flask shaped female sex organ with a long neck and a swollen base, which produce and protect a single egg

24
Q

What’s homospory?

A

The condition in which land plants produce a single type of haploid spores

25
What's heterospory?
The condition in which land plants have two different types of spores.
26
What's dykariotic?
An organism that doesn't have gametes cells but gamet nuclei that differe genetically from one another (n+n)
