asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction is the process of one or more parents creating an offspring. True or False? If false, what is the right answer?
False -- there has to be two parents
Name the female reproductive organ that produces ovules

True.
How do hydra reproduce asexually?
By budding
Offspring receive a full set of DNA from each of its parents. True or False? If false, what is the right answer?
False. They receive half from each parent.

moths, butterflies, hummingbirds, flies, bees, etc.
Parents pass on their ______ to their offspring.

In sexual reproduction, how many chromosomes are passed on from parent to offspring?
How do bacteria reproduce?

Name the female parts of a flower
stigma, style, ovary, ovules
Reproduction is essential to organisms because...
it ensures the survival of organisms or species.
Asexual reproduction in Plants also known as?
Vegetative propagation
Offspring of sexual reproduction have a better chance of survival because...
They are produced with a variation of genetic material and reduces the chances of bad genes being identically replicated?
Describe the process of pollination
A pollinator gets pollen from the anthers of one flower and transfers that to the stigma of another flower. The pollen travels down the style and into the ovary where it fertilizes the ovules and they become seeds.
