Male reproductive parts of a flower

Question 4

Anther

Answer 4

Top part of stamen; produces pollen

The process of producing offspring that results from the union of female and male sex cells (egg and sperm).

Question 14

Question 16

Budding

Answer 16

Type of asexual reproduction where a bud-like formation grows on a parent organism matures and falls off to produce a new organism. (EX yeast, hydra.)

Question 21

Vegetative Propagation

Answer 21

A type of asexual plant reproduction that occurs in where a part of a plant (root, stem, or leaf) grows into a new identical plant. Examples include tuber grafts rhizomes runners bulbs and sporulation.

Question 22
