CHAPTER 43 Flashcards
reproduction where mating isnt required
Asexual reproduction
asexual reproducing species are mostly
invertebrates, sessile”( immobile) and live in constant environments
what are the three types of asexual reproduciotn
budding, regeneration and parthogenesis.
produces new individual that form the bodies of older animals
budding
how is a bud created
created by mitotic cell division and the cells differentiate before the bud breaks away .
A bud is gentically identical to its parent.
development of an offspring from an unfertilized egg
parthogenesis
2 haploid cells form a haploid individual in
sexual reproduction
what produces haploid gametes through meiotic cell division
gametogenesis
advantage of sexual behavior
one advantage is greater diversity due to meiosis ; crossing over and independent assortment.
name the three fundamental steps of sexual reproduction
1) gametogenesis - creating gametes
2) mating: getting gametes together
3) fertilization : fusing gametes.
