Answer 7

genus and species

Question 8

definition of sexual reproduction

Answer 8

2 organism breed and produce new organisms

Question 9

definition of asexual

Answer 9

occurs when one parent or organism breeds

Question 10

members of 2 different breeds cannot producs but when they do what are they called?

Answer 10

hybrids, hybrids cannot reproducs they are infertile

Question 11

another word of sex cells

Answer 11

gametes

Question 12

Answer 12

egg cell

Question 13

sexual reproduction produce offspring that…

Answer 13

do not look identical to the parents

Question 14

asexual reproduction produce offspring that…

Answer 14

look identical to the parent

Question 15

definition of cross pollination

Answer 15

the process of aplying pollen from one flower to another

Question 16

definition of genetic mutation

Answer 16

change in one of more genes

Question 17

definition of sterile

Answer 17

when hybrids cannot mate/breed

Question 18

where do pollen grains ripen

Answer 18

inside the anther

Question 19

after pollen grains get carried by an insect where do the get carried?

Answer 19

stigma of another female flower

Question 20

plants that use animals for pollination have what?

Answer 20

brightly colored petals, they attract bees by color, scent and nectar

Question 21

what characteristic does a stigma have

Answer 21

sticky to collect pollen from insects

Question 22

Characteristic of a sepal

Answer 22

protect the flower when its in a bud

Question 23

explain how a pollen tube is formed

Answer 23

when pollen rached the stigma of the same species the flower grows a pollen tube.

Question 24

explain how a zygote or fertilised egg cell formed?

Answer 24

female gamete and the male gamete join together

Question 25

explain how cell division happens

Answer 25

the zygote splits into 2 using a process called cell division. the cells divide again to form and embryo. the embryo grows a shoot and a root.

Question 26

when fruits spread seeds away from the parent plant what is this called

Answer 26

seed dispersal

Question 27

explain a way how fruit seeds can disperse

Answer 27

when the fruit is digested the seed get stored in the animals and passes out through excretion

Question 28

how do fleshy fruits seeds get dipersed?

Answer 28

when the fruit is digested the seeds get stored in the animal and passes out through excretion.

Question 29

how are dry fruits dispersed?

Answer 29

they use, animals, wind, water and even explosions

Question 30

how does the plant use glucose

Answer 30

for growth

Question 31

how does water help seeds?

Answer 31

it allows enzymes to break down the food store so it can be turned to smaller molecules such as glucose.

Question 32

where does the engergy for growth come from?

Answer 32

respiration, a process in which oxygen is released energy from glucose

Question 33

Definition of dormant

Answer 33

dormant is when the seed freezed before they germinate to ensure the resources for germination is still available.

Question 34

definition of germination

Answer 34

process by which a seed grows into a seedling

Question 35

how do leaves make food

Answer 35

by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis needs energy which is transferred by the sun

Question 36

what do chloroplast do

Answer 36

Chloroplast trap the energy and transfer it to glucose. molecules

Question 37

plants rely on insects for pollination and insects rely on plants for food what. is this called?

Answer 37

Interdependence

Question 38

explain what happens in fertilisation

Answer 38

the egg cell and male game of a pollen grain join together and their nuculei fuse into one, this forms a zygote

Question 39

explain the process of respiration and the equation

Answer 39

oxygen is used to release energy from glucose. glucose + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water

Question 40

what is used to make glucose

Answer 40

carbon dioxide and water. the plant then converts glucose to starch to store it

Question 41

what do plants need from the soil

Answer 41

mineral salts
