The process by which organisms produce offspring
What is reproduction?
A biological process where a parent cell diveds to form two or more daughter cells. it is essential for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms.
What is cell division
When one parent organism makes offspring without mating, producing identical copies(clones)
what is asexual reproduction.
This flower part produces pollen.
What is the stamen?
This is when an animal’s egg is fertilized outside the body, often in water.
What is external fertilization?
The young or new organism produced by reproduction
What is offspring?
The reproductive cells (sperm and egg) in sexually reproducing organisms
what are gametes
When two parents combine genetic material to produce offspring that are different from both parents.
what is sexual reproduction?
This flower part contains the ovary and receives pollen.
What is the pistil?
This type of animal reproduction involves laying eggs that develop outside the parent’s body.
What is oviparous reproduction?
A group of organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring
What is species?
A fertilized egg cell formed by the union of two gametes
What are zygotes
This type of reproduction happens when a new organism grows from a bud on the parent.
what is asexual reproduction?
This part of the male reproductive system produces sperm.
What are the testes?
This is when a baby animal develops inside the parent and is born alive.
What is viviparous reproduction?
The fusion of egg and sperm to form a new organism
What is fertilization?
this is a type of cell division that result in the daughter cells being identical to the parent cell. this is crucial to growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms.
What is mitosis?
This type of reproduction helps populations adapt because offspring are not all the same.
What is sexual reprouction?
This part of the female reproductive system is where a baby develops.
What is the uterus?
This type of reproduction allows animals like hydra to reproduce by growing a new organism from their body.
What is budding?
The transfer of pollen in plants, often leading to fertilization
What is pollination?
this is a specialize form of cell division that occurs in the production of gametes, where they reduce the chromosome by half resulting in four haploid cells.
This type of reproduction allows organisms like starfish or planaria to regrow into a new organism from a body part.
What is asexual reproduction?
This plant structure protects the seed and helps with seed dispersal.
What is the fruit?
These animal group reproduces by laying eggs with shells on land.
What are reptiles, fish, amphibian, and birds)?
