Asexual Reproduction in Plants
This type of reproduction in plants requires only one parent and produces identical offspring.
asexual reproduction
These are the male gametes in flowering plants.
pollen grains
These are the male gametes in animals.
sperm cells
What part of the flower produces pollen?
anther
Which hormone is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics like breasts?
oestrogen
Strawberry plants reproduce asexually using this horizontal stem.
stolons
The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma is called this.
pollination
The fusion of sperm and egg is called this.
fertilisation
What part of the flower receives pollen?
stigma
What is the process in females where the uterus lining breaks down and leaves the body if no egg is fertilized?
menstruation
Potatoes reproduce asexually using these swollen underground stems.
tubers
Fertilisation in plants occurs in this structure inside the ovary.
ovule
When a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, it forms this single cell that will develop into a new organism.
zygote
Name one agent that helps in pollination.
insect (Also accept wind, water, or animals)
Name the tube that carries sperm from the testis to the urethra.
the sperm duct
This term describes all asexual reproduction in plants using roots, stems, or leaves.
vegetative propagation
After fertilisation, the ovule develops into this structure that can grow into a new plant.
seed
In humans, fertilisation usually occurs in this structure that connects the ovary to the uterus.
oviduct
What is the term for pollination that occurs between flowers of different plants?
cross-pollination
Which hormone is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate sperm production in males?
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
This natural form of asexual reproduction occurs when a plant produces new plants from underground stems that grow horizontally.
rhizome
This part of the flower contains the female gametes and develops into fruit after fertilisation.
ovary
Offspring produced from sexual reproduction have this genetic advantage.
genetic variation
What do we call the tube that grows from a pollen grain to reach the ovule?
pollen tube
Which structure in females provides nutrients and oxygen to the developing embryo?
placenta
