separate male and female individuals. fertilizaton membrance only allows one sperm to reach egg
gamete
reproductive cell. (egg and sperm)
contains 1/2 needed chromosomes [haploids].
sexual
reproduction with help of partner. increases genetic variation. offspring not identical to parents.
asexual
reproduction w/o partner. no change in genetic material. offspring are clones of parent.
pollination
