Ch.7 Reproduction and Germ Cells Flashcards
asexual reproduction
production of a new individual without gametes
asexual involves ___ parent and has ___ special reproductive organs or cells
-one
-no
what benefit does asexual reproduction pose?
rapid increase in numbers for colonizing new environments
what are the types of asexual reproduction?
-binary fission
-multiple fission
-budding
-gemmulation
-fragmentation
-parthenogenesis
parent divides by mitosis into two cells that are similar to parent
binary fission
multiple fission occurs when the ____ divides repeatedly and is then followed by cytoplasmic division
nucleus
budding
unequal division of organisms where bud is growing out of the parent
gemmulation
internal budding; cells aggregate and are surrounded by a gemmule
multicellular animal breaking into many fragments that become a new animal
fragmentation
parthenogenesis
development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg-incomplete fusion
sexual reproduction is the production of new individuals from ___
gametes
what is the benefit of sexual reproduction
diverse populations; more responsive to changing environments
types of sexual reproduction
bisexual reproduction and hermaphroditism
bisexual reproduction produces offspring from union of ___ from ___ parents
-gametes
-two
diocious
separate sexes
bisexual repoduction includes ___ parents
diocious
type of reproduction that involves one individual has both male and female organs
hermaphroditism
during hermaphroditism, animals still prefer to ___ gametes with ___ members of the same species
-exchange
-other
what has a double division and produces four haploid cells?
meiosis
during fertilization
two haploid cells combine and restore the diploid chromosome number in zygote
gonads
organs that produce germ cells called gametes
gametogenesis
production of mature gametes
oogenesis
formation of eggs or female gametes within the follicles of ovaries
spermatogenesis
formation of sperm of male gametes in the seminferous tubules of the testis
