Flower Power
The sticky tip of the pistil that traps pollen.
Stigma
These plants reproduce from spores.
Ferns and mosses
This mammal’s young finishes developing in a pouch.
Marsupial mammal
Occurs when an organism breaks into tiny pieces that can grow into new organisms.
Fragmentation
Plants that reproduce using roots employ a method called ______________
vegetative reproduction
The male part of a flower.
Stamen
Pollination methods include animals, water, and this.
wind
The period when a mammal develops inside the mother’s body.
Gestation
Occurs when part of a plant usually not involved in reproduction develops into a new plant.
Vegetative Reproduction
This type of underground stem stores nutrients and helps plants survive harsh conditions.
This type of underground stem stores nutrients and helps plants survive harsh conditions.
The part of a flower that protects the bud.
Sepal
The two main types of seed-producing plants.
Angiosperms and gymnosperms

Budding
How is a spore different than a seed?
Spore- smaller, single cell
Seed- Stores it's own food
Pollination occurs when this lands on the stigma.
A grain of pollen
What the ovary develops into after fertilization.
Fruit
The type of cell division that produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis
Occurs when an organism splits in half and becomes two separate organisms.
Binary Fission
Why is crabgrass hard to remove?
Crabgrass produces stolons, which take hold of many places and produce many roots, making crabgrass difficult to pull up and remove completely.
This grows down into the pistil after pollination.
Pollen tube
A seed contains these three parts
Embryo, cotyledons, seed coat
Scientific name given to mammals that lay eggs.
Monotremes
Occurs when part of an organism is broken off but contains part of its center, so the whole organism can regrow.
