Reproduction Basics
This is the general term for the process by which an organism creates offspring.
Reproduction
In sexual reproduction, the female animal contributes her DNA in this type of cell
These colorful structures often surround the reproductive parts of a flower.
Petals
This element of nature can carry seeds to new locations.
Wind
These tiny reproductive structures contain a copy of the parent DNA and are agents of asexual reproduction.
Spores
This process in plants occurs when pollen is transferred from the male to the female parts of a flower, leading to fertilization.
Pollination
In sexual reproduction, the female animal contributes her DNA in this type of cell.
Egg Cell
These modified leaves encase a developing flower and serve to protect it until it blooms.
Sepals
Flowers often have bright colors and odors to attract these organisms that aid in pollination.
Insects
In this process, a smaller version of the parent organism grows out of the parent and eventually separates.
Budding
This process in plants occurs when pollen is transferred from the male to the female parts of a flower, leading to fertilization.
Sexual Reproduction
Male animals often develop these behaviors to increase their chances of finding a mate.
Mating behaviors
This is the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and a filament.
Stamen
When pollen sticks to this outer covering of some animals, it can be moved to other plants.
Fur
A plant produced through vegetative propagation is this type of genetic copy of its parent.
Exact
This type of reproduction only requires one parent to produce offspring.
Asexual Reproduction
For successful sexual reproduction in animals, this event must occur where the egg and sperm combine.
Fertilization
This part of the stamen is responsible for producing pollen
Seeds can be dispersed when an animal consumes a plant's fruit and then releases the seeds in this.
Scat
A process where an entirely new plant can grow out of a part of an existing plant during vegetative propagation.
Asexual Reproduction
This term describes an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Eukaryotic
BONUS: The genetic material that parents pass on to their offspring is known by this abbreviation.
DNA
This is the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the ovary, stigma, and style.
Pisitil
Animals like squirrels help disperse seeds when they do this with nuts
By burying them
Plants can reproduce asexually through this process where a new plant grows from a portion of the parent plant.
