Reproduction Flashcards
what are these examples of:
Produces clones
* Binary fission
* Budding
* Fragmentation
* Parthenogenesis
Asexual reproduction
Uses meiotic cell division &
fertilization
sexual reproduction
halves the number
of chromosomes; produces
gametes (or spores)
meiosis
combines two gametes to create a diploid zygote
fertilization
What are the two kinds of gametes many species produce
spermatozoa (sperm) or ova (eggs)
Fusion of gametes results in a
zygote that grows into an___________
embryo
What is the two fold cost of sex
Time and energy to
find a mate
Fewer offspring per
reproductive cycle
Aquatic vertebrates (fish &
amphibians) Use _____________
external fertilization
May broadcast spawn
May come close together to
increase the chance of
fertilization
external fertilization
Terrestrial vertebrates (reptiles,
birds, mammals) Use ____________
internal fertilization
Also used by some aquatic
animals
Adaptation to reproduction
outside of water, the amniotic
egg, or increased chance of
fertilization
internal fertilization
r-strategist
high reproduction rate
-less parental investment
-low survival rate
k-strategist
low reproduction rate
-high parental investment
-high survival rate
Evolved to allow terrestrial animals
to lay eggs outside of water
amniotic egg
reproductive methods for amniotic egg
oviparity
ovoviviparity
viviparity
lay eggs
oviparity
internal egg hatching
ovoviviparity
live birth mammals use a placenta
viviparity
