Asexual And Sexual Reproduction Flashcards
Asexual reproduction
ONE parent
Genetically identical
Binary fission
Parent cell divides into 2
BACTERIAL cell divides into 2 by making new cells
Spore production in fungi
Pin mould is a fungus which grows on bread
Reproduces ASEXUALLY by creating spores
Tuber formation in potatoes
Stem tubers- sucrose is transported in phloem from leaves into these undergroubd stem that swellbas they convert the sucrose into starch
Advantages of asexual reproducyion of potatoes
Produce rapidly
Grow rapidly
Not wasted seeds
Disadvantage of tuber formation in potatoes
Little variation
Quick spread of disease
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
2 parents
Sex organs ( gametes)
Non_ -identical offspring
Gametes fuse- ZYGOTE
Advantages of sexual reproduction
Variety offspring
Seed production-disperse to new areas
Survive and adapt better to new env.
Disadvantage of sexaul reproduction
X well adapted to the existing conditions as their parents
Flower structure
Male parts
Anther , filament - STAMEN
Flower structure
Female parts
Stigma, ovary, style -CARPEL
What is pollination
Transfer pf pollen e
Insect-pollinated flowers PETALS- ANTHER- FILAMENT- POLLEN-
PETALS- coloured, scented
ANTHER- pollen is made, inside flower
FILAMENT- hold anther, shot
POLLEN- small quantities, sticky and spicky
Wind pollinated flowers PETALS- ANTHER- FILAMENT- POLLEN-
Petals- dull, small
ANTHER- hang outside flower
FILAMENT- Long, outside flower
POLLEN- large quantities, smooth, light
What is selfpollination
When the pollen is transferred from anther to stigma of the same flower
Less variation
What is cross pollination?
Pollen transfered tona stigma of another plant
Greater variation
Stages of fertilisation in flower
- Pollen lands on stigma- grow pollen tube throght style by enzymes
- Take male nucleus to ovary and enters through the hole MICROPYLE
- Male gamete fuse w/ egg cell nucleus- ZYGOTE
- Protective seed will grow around ZYGOTE and ovary becomes fruit
- Rest of flowers will die and fall
Conditions for germination
Oxygen- aerobic repiration to provide embryo w/ energy
Water- seeds to swell activates enzymes
Warm temp- enzymes work efficiently
What is a gamete
Sex cells
Sperm
What does the head have
Acrosome- ensymes
Nucleus
Sperm
What does the middle part have
Mitochondria- energy for movement from respiration
Sperm
Tail/flagellum
Adapted for swimming
Egg cell
Jelly coat
Block any sperm from entering after fertilisation
Egg sperm
Mother chromosome
Zygote is a diploid/haploid
Diploid
Diploid has…
46
Haploid has…
23
Stages of fertilisation and implantation
- Sperm fuses w/egg- ZYGOTE in oviduct
- Zygote divides into 2 by MITOSIS and becomes embryo
- embryo moves down the oviduct by peristaltic movements
- Embryo embeds into the soft lining of the uterus- IMPLANTATION
- Uterus thuckened
- Embryo- nutrients and oxygen from these blood vessels by diffusion
- Carbon dioxide, chemical waste- diffuse opposite direction
