lesson 5 Flashcards
- 2 parents
- Sex cells: sperm and egg
- Sperm and egg join= fertilization
- Offspring look different from parent (mixed DNA)
- Examples
Humans, some plants, mammals, fish, reptiles, etc
Sexual Reproduction
- One parent
- No sex cells
- Offspring produced by cell division
- Offspring identical to parent (same DNA)
- Several types in plants and animals
asexual reproduction
plants and animals reproduce by —— and ——- reproduction
asexual and sexual reproduction.

All living things eventually:
die
If living organisms stopped reproducing,
life would cease to exist.
Nature ensures that life continues in every type of living organism through the process of ———–
reproduction.
is the process by which organisms produce offspring
reproduction.
Most plants reproduce ——— through various means
asexually
They reproduce through their stems, roots, and leaves
Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
This can occur either naturally or artificially with the aid of humans.
Asexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
runner, bulb, tuber, rhizome, corm
natural vegetative propagation
It is often faster than growing plants from seeds.
Artificial Propagation Methods
Farmers ———- plants by using a piece of plant material.
propagate
- leaves, stems or roots are cut from one plant, planted in soil, and used to grow new individuals
cutting-
small stems from one plant are attached to larger stems or roots of another plant
budding and grafting-
