This is the part of the flower that produces and stores the eggs.

The ovary. Letter I in diagram is the ovary and letter J points to the eggs.

Fungi break down and feed off of dead organisms making them _________________. They are heterotrophic.

 Decomposers.  

* Some fungi get nutrients by living off another living organism.  For example, athletes foot.  The host is the person and the parasite in the fungi ( athletes foot)/ 

100

The fusing of the nucleus of a sperm cell with the nucleus of an egg is called?

Fertilization

100

All the organisms shown in this picture are showing _____________ a type of ____________ reproduction. 

 Fragmentation  ,  asexual reproduction. 

100

What needs two parents ( or two sex cells) therefore this takes longer. Usually done in more complex organisms. 

Sexual reproduction


200

What is the difference between an imperfect and perfect flower.

An imperfect flower has only male or female parts. ( Only stamen or only pistil) and a perfect flower has both male and female reproductive organs.

A perfect flower can successfully reproduce by itself.  This would still be sexual reproduction because it involves the fusing of 2 different sex cells ( sperm and egg)


200

What is the reproductive structure of fungi?

Fruiting body

200

What characteristics help ensure reproduction?

Some answers-

Bright colors, loud vocalizations, dances and other  " showing off" behavior demonstrated by male animals.


200

 What is one benefit of asexual reproduction. 

 It is fast

200

Perfect flower can do both ___________________ and ____________________ which can ultimately lead to fertilization. 

 self-pollination and cross-pollination

300

What is the swollen ovary holds the seeds in this structure.

A fruit

300

 What produces the spores?

Gills. Letter B on this diagram.  


300

What is the best seed structure for wind seed dispersal. 

Light weight and large surface area.  As shown in picture. *You want seed dispersal ( spreading out away from parent ) so the offspring has space, water, sunlight and nutrients of its own to grow.


300

What is the type of reproduction shown here?

Budding?  It is asexual reproduction This is a hydra. 

* The offspring slowly grows off adult and pinches off when a bit bigger.  It will be smaller than parent. 

300

 What is the collective name for sperm cells and egg cells.

Gametes

400

What is the sticky structure that has the job of catching the pollen? ( Great example of structure and function) 

The stigma- Letter G in picture.

400

______________ a unicellular fungi reproduces asexually by a method called ______________.

yeast   ,  budding

400

Before the flower is mature enough to help the plant reproduce it is protected by what structures?

Letter F here. Sepals 

400

 What is the type of asexual reproduction shown here?


Binary fission

This picture is an amoeba ( unicellular protist). It splits its nucleus and cytoplasm in two and then the cell membrane pinches to make two identical cells (organisms) 

400

In sexual reproduction the offspring gets 50% of this from one parent and 50% the other another.

 DNA (genetic material)


500

What is held up by the filament and produces and stores pollen the male sex cells in flowering plants. 

The anther? Letter E in diagram below.

500

What are the long thread like cells that make up multicellular fungi?

Hyphae

500

How many offspring does Mrs. Barker have?  What are their names? :)  

( Just for fun...I did tell you this in a PP review)

What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction? 

What is less genetic diversity within the species.

Can only be done in very simple organisms. 

500

 What is the evidence of sexual reproduction in this picture?

Two parents that create two different sex cells- Sperm and eggs

In this case external fertilization occurs.
