Asexual reproduction & plant Flashcards
What is sexual plant reproduction?
two parent cells that produce offspring which is different to the parent cells
What plant reproduction system is best for changing enviroments?
Sexual reproduction
How is sexual reproduction produced by?
meiosis
What is asexual reproduction?
Only one parent cell produces offspring that is identical to the parent cell
What type of plant reproduction has a full genetic copy of info of parent cell, but has unique offspring?
Sexual reproduction
Does sexual reproduction require gametes?
Yes
What plant reproduction does not need a partner to reproduce?
Asexual reproduction
What plant reproduction is more energy efficient?
Asexual reproduction
What is mitosis?
When a cell splits in half to become 2 new identical cells (cycle repeatedly occurs until eventually a new plant is created)
What is vegetative propagation?
Type of asexual reproduction (that occurs in roots, leaves and stems)
What are the male parts of a basic flower structure?
Anther, Filament, Stamen
What are the female parts of a basic flower structure?
Stigma, Style, Ovary, Ovule and the Carpel
Function of the anther
-male part
-pollen is made
Function of the Filament
-male part
-carries nutrients to the anther for development
Function of petals
-not female and not male part
-attracting pollinators
Sepal function
-not female and not male part
-protects the organs
What is the function of stigma
-female part
-helps to collect pollen
Function of the style
-female part
-holds the stigma upright
-helps fertilizations by delivering sperm cells to the egg
Function of the ovary
-female part
-prepares ovule for fertilization
Function of the Ovule
-female part
-produces and cares for the egg cells
What is binary fission
single cell splits into two cells to multiply.
What is budding
a small part of the parents body develops into a new organism that starts as a bud and detaches from the parent into a new individual
What is fragmentation?
form of asexual reproduction: fragment of the parent breaks off and develops into a whole new but genetically identical individual
What is parthenogenesis
Reproduction without fertilizations
What type of reproduction is parthenogenesis
Asexual
What type of reproduction is Binary fission
Asexual
