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
