 Female reproductive organ that produces eggs

Ovary

The transfer of the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is called...

Pollination

100

Name some behaviors that animals engage in that increase the odds of plant reproduction

Animals transfer pollen for plants. Animals help disperse seeds. Animals create conditions for seed germination and growth. Squirrels bury nuts and don’t find them again, allowing plants to grow from the nut.

100

what is reproduction?

Biological process by which new offspring are produced from their parents.

100

Pollination is the process by which the pollen grains are transferred from the ________ to the _________. (List 2)

Anther, stigma

200
  1. The part of the flower that contains the pollen



Anther

200

Some plants produce their seeds inside of prickly burrs that easily attach to animal fur. Why have these plants developed this trait?

So that the seeds can be transported to new environments away from parent plants.

5

Which of the following plant adaptations allows plants to use animals to transport their seeds to new locations?

A) Large leaves 

B)Strong stems

C) Sweet fruit

D)Deep roots

Sweet fruits

 Why do organisms differ in their methods of reproduction? 

Organisms differ in their methods of reproduction to increase their chances of survival as a species in their environments.

200

What part of the plant starts the life cycle?

the seed

300

what parts make up the Male structures of the flower

Anthers and filaments give then full point if they only say stamen

300

List some characteristic behaviors that plants have developed to increase their odds of reproduction. at least 3.

Relying on animal pollinators, animals burying their seeds, birds pooping undigested seeds which grow elsewhere, developing seeds that are dispersed in many ways hence increasing their odds for taking over lots of spaces. 

300

List some characteristic behaviors that animals have developed to increase their odds of reproduction. at least 3.

Nest building, herding animals, bird vocalization, bird plumage. Any three 

300

Which of these is an example of sexual reproduction? 

a) production of seeds in flowers

b) vegetative propagation in leaves

c) fruiting in fungi

d) budding in yeast

production of seeds in flowers

300

Where does fertilization take place?

The ovary

400

 what parts make up the  female structure of the flower

 stigma, style, and ovary give a point if they only say pistil.

400

In a population of desert plants, the timing of their blooming varies greatly. Some bloom early in the morning, others at midday, and others after dark. In what situation might it be a reproductive advantage for those plants that bloom after dark?

For plants that bloom after dark, it would be a reproductive advantage when there is an increase in the population of nocturnal pollinators.

400

Why do male peacocks have brightly colored feathers?

Too attract peahens to mate

400

Why would the birds with the best plumage or best dances or colored feathers or plants with the sweetest scents colorful petals more likely to pass on their genes/traits to the next generation?

They will be better suited to get a mate and have offsprings when they die as opposed to dull-colored birds or not so sweet-smelling flowers which will not attract pollinators.

400

Which of the following is/are types of pollination?
A) Wind pollination
B) Insect pollination
C) explosive pollination

A and B

500

How are flowers adapted to being pollinated by different animals? 

some are brightly colored sweet-smelling, they sometimes have different shapes to that will only work for certain animals to pollinate, or ant answer that talks about different flower shapes

  1. What specialized plant structures increase the probability of successful reproduction?

To increase the probability of successful reproduction, there are specialized plant structures such as brightly colored petals to attract potential pollinators and extended stamens that require animals to brush against the plants in order to receive nectar.

500
  1. The songs of birds are part of a ritual to attract potential partners of their own species. The song presents specific patterns recognized only by members of the same species. What advantage does this present for the species of birds?

Songs that are only recognized by the same species of bird represent a mechanism of reproductive isolation, an advantage in reproductive success.

500

What are all the differences between sexual and asexual reproduction? at least 3 to get a score.

sexual( male and female parents, unique offsprings, more variation ina species, takes a longer time to complete)

Asexual( only a single parent, offsprings is a copy image of a parent, less variation in a species, short time to complete)

500

What is an ovary?

the female part of the flower that holds the eggs
