How does rhizomes reproduce?

Horizontal stems underground

100
How many parents are needed for asexual reproduction to occur?
Only 1 parent cell is needed
100
How many parents are needed for sexual reproduction to occur?
2 parents (1 male, 1 female) are needed
100
Name an advantage of asexual reproduction?
Only needs one parent, happens very quickly, offspring are clones of parents, successful characteristics are guaranteed, requires less energy and time
100
Name a disadvantage of asexual reproduction.
Lack of variation, organisms are more susceptible to diseases, organisms are less likely to adapt to new environments
200

Strawberries reproduce by what method?

Runners
200
Are the daughter cells exactly the same as or different from the parent cells?
Exactly the same (identical copies)
200
Are the offspring exactly the same or different from the parents? Why?
The offspring are different because they get characteristics from the father and the mother.
200
Name an advantage of sexual reproduction.
Lots of variation can occur, Variations can help organisms to survive in new environments, Help to protect entire populations from being killed by diseases
200
Name a disadvantage of sexual reproduction.
Organisms/Cells take a longer time to mature, Must have a mate (2 parents), Gametes (sperm/egg) can be lost, Takes more energy and time
300

Plants that reproduce by artificial vegetative use what methods? List 1

Cuttings, grafting

300

Name the four types of asexual reproduction.

Binary Fission, Budding, Regeneration, Vegetative Propagation

300

What is an underground root that stores food

Bulb

300
Which type of reproduction can occur very quickly?
Asexual Reproduction
300
Which type of reproduction takes more time and energy? Why?
Sexual Reproduction because it takes more time for cells to mature and organisms to be fully formed (made of many cells)
400

In order to produce a single plant that has two separate fruits, you will need to

Graft

400
Which type of asexual reproduction do most bacteria use?
Binary Fission
400

The ability to make an exact clone of another is what kind of reproduction?

Asexual Reproduction

400
Which type of reproduction creates organisms with a lot of variations? Why
Sexual Reproduction because the offspring get characteristics from both parents, rather than just one parent.
400
Which type of reproduction lacks variation?
Asexual Reproduction because the cells are exactly the same as the original parent cell.
500

What two types of propagation are there and what is the difference?

Artificial Vegetative Propagation and Natural Propagation.  Artificial needs human intervention.

500

When both nucleus and cytoplasm divides equally

Binary Fission

500
What happens during pollination?
During pollination, pollen from the anther (male) is moved to the pistil (female), where it will travel down to the egg to fertilize it. This causes a seed to form.
500

Which type of reproduction creates organisms that would have an easier time adjusting to a new environment? Why?

Sexual Reproduction because there are more variations amongst the organisms created, so it is more able to adapt.

500
Which type of reproduction is more susceptible to disease (more likely to die of disease)? Why?
Asexual Reproduction because the cells are all the same and are more likely to die if a disease spreads.
