Science 9 mitosis & miosis Flashcards
What is Asexual reproduction
a type of reproduction which offspring appears from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only
what is sexual reproduction
new organisms by the combination of genetics from two individuals of different genders
what is zygote
the single cell formed when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell
embryo
the early developmental stage of an animal while it is in the egg or within the uterus of the mother.

Fragmentation
the process or state of breaking or being broken into small or separate parts.
Budding
a form of asexual reproduction where a new individual develops from a bud or outgrowth of the parent organism
what is regeneration
the process where organisms repair or replace damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, or even entire body parts to restore function
what is binary fission
a form of asexual reproduction where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
what is vegetative propagation
a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants develop from vegetative parts like stems, roots, or leaves
what is mitosis
a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell
what is meiosis
a type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in gametes
