Q4 BIO Flashcards
Mode of reproduction that does not involve the use of
gametes or sex cells
Asexual reproduction
Mode of reproduction that involves the use of gametes or
sex cells
Sexual reproduction
A type of asexual reproduction involving the division of the body into two or more equal parts
Fission
A type of asexual reproduction where the body breaks into two
or more parts, with each fragment capable of becoming a complete individual; in animals, and is usually followed by regeneration where the missing parts are produced. For example, a lost arm of the starfish may be regenerated by mitotic cell divisions.
Fragmentation
A type of asexual reproduction where a new individual arises as an outgrowth from its parent, develops organs like those of the parent, and then detaches itself.
Budding
A type of asexual reproduction where a new individual forms from
an aggregation of cells surrounded by a resistant capsule, which later on germinates
Sporulation
Fusion of similar gametes which are usually motile.
Isogamy
Fusion of dissimilar gametes. In oogamy, a large immotile gamete,
the egg, is fertilized by a small motile gamete, the sperm.
Heterogamy
This type of sexual reproduction involving the union of
gametes from two genetically different parents.
Bisexual reproduction
An individual with both male and female reproductive tissues.
In animals “self-fertilization” is not common. In worms, a male needs to donate sperm to fertilize the oocytes in its body.
Hermaphrodite
TYPES OF ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Fission
Fragmentation
Budding
Sporulation
FFBS
What type of reproduction: Paramecium
Fission
What type of reproduction: Hydra
Budding
What type of reproduction: filamentous alga, i.e. Spirogyra or Oedogonium, and a detached starfish arm growing lost parts as example
Fragmentation
What type of reproduction: fungus, i.e. Rhizopus; very rare in animals and is only exhibited in some organism like sponges.
Sporulation
TYPES OF UNION OF GAMETES
Isogamy
Heterogamy
UNION OF GAMETES. Chlamydomonas producing gametes or Spirogyra undergoing conjugation as example; may involve either flagellated gametes (as in the case of Chlamydomonas) or non-flagellated cells or structures (as in the case of Spirogyra)
Isogamy
UNION OF GAMETES. animal sperm and egg as examples
Isogamy
