Patterns of Reproduction
This is when a sperm and egg cell join together.
What is fertilization?
A seed needs these three things to grow.
These are behaviors that don't need to be learned.
What are "instincts"?
This is when an animal goes through a major body change as they grow.
What is metamorphosis?
These will determine the traits that offspring will show.
What is an allele?
One benefit of this type of reproduction is that genetic variation occurs.
What is pollen and pollination?
What is aggression?
This provides all the nutrients that a growing embryo needs before birth.
What is an egg?
Auxin is an example of this, which speeds up or slows down how fast a plant can grow in response to light.
What is a hormone?
This is when an offspring has a mixture of two different alleles (i.e. Red Flowers and White Flowers make Pink Flowers)
What is Incomplete Dominance?
This is a way for a plant to reproduce sexually, even though they themselves cannot move.
What is through seed dispersal? (A.K.A.: Animals, the wind, etc.)
Because they often produce fewer offspring at a time, this occurs to ensure the offspring can survive.
What is parental investment?
This explains how a plant can identify when their are changes in the seasons.
What is photoperiodism?
In this thing, capital letters show dominant alleles and lowercase letters show recessive alleles.
What is a Punnett Square?
What is Codominance?
A female cone is sticky because it wants to do this.
What is "catch pollen from a male cone"?
What is a pheromone?
As winter draws near, trees will have their leaves change color and then fall. This is an example of them preparing for this.
A herd protecting a pregnant female or a group of worker bees raising the youth are examples of this.
What are cooperative behaviors?
This is how plants can grow asexually from a parent plant.
What is from the roots, leaves, or stems?
Benefits of this are could be to find new mates and increase genetic variation or even just finding new supplies of food and/or warmth.
What is migration?
These are some of the many forms of tropism. (Hint: There are 3 possible answers!)
What are: Thigmotropism (response to touch), Gravitropism (response to gravity), and Phototropism (response to light)?
Competition in plants may be seen by there being too many plants grown in an area, leading to this.
What is nutrient-poor soil?
