9A Flashcards
1
Q
Population
A
- group of individuals
- same species living in the same location
2
Q
Gene Pool
A
- a total number of individual alleles within a particular population
3
Q
Sexual Reproduction
A
- the fusion of two distinct haploid gametes
- produces a single diploid zygote
- composes of two sets of chromosomes
4
Q
Reproductive Strategies
A
- adaptations which improves the success of survival of a species
5
Q
Fertilisation
A
- where two gametes fuse and form a zygote
6
Q
Zygote
A
- is a diploid cell
- formed by the combination of two haploid gamete cells
7
Q
Angiosperms
A
- flowering plants with stems, roots, and leaves
8
Q
Pollination
A
- for plants that involves the fusion of pollen (male gamete) and ovule (femal gamete)
- leads to productions of seeds
9
Q
Asexual Reproduction
A
- a way to produce an offpsring
- without the fusion of gametes
10
Q
Clones
A
- organism or section of a DNA which is genetically identical
11
Q
Budding
A
- where a group of cells form a bud and break away
- usually from the origina organism to form a clone
12
Q
Fragmentation
A
- where parent organism breaks into fragments
- each may develop into individual clones
13
Q
Vegetative Propogation
A
- where plant grows from fragments
- such as sem or root cuttings of its parents
14
Q
Sporogenesis
A
- where spores form on the surfce of the organism
- is then dispersed into the surroundings
- they may develop into individual clones of the original
15
Q
Parthenogenesis
A
- where an embryo can develop from a single unfertilised gamete
