Science Test Review

Question 1

Binary Fission

Answer 1

One cell simply divides into two ex. Amoeba, bacteria

Question 2

Fragmentation

Answer 2

a small piece, or fragment, breaks away from main mass and grows a new individual ex. Sponges, starfish

Question 3

Budding

Answer 3

Copy of nucleus is made, small bud forms on cell wall containing new nucleus, grows until breaking away, becoming independent cell ex. Jellyfish, yeast

Question 4

Spore

Answer 4

Question 8

Runners (plants)

Answer 8

Question 9

Grafting (plants)

Answer 9

stems from plants can be attached or grafted to the rooted stock of related/similar plants. ex. rose, mango

Question 10

Tissue culture

Answer 10

allows identical plants to be grown quickly by taking specialized cells from one plant and growing them in a special solution ex. Banana, eggplant

Question 11

Complete Metamorphosis

Answer 11

the process by which an organism develops into an adult by changing from one form to another ex. tadpole to frog

Question 12

Answer 15

Plant that produces flowers and bear their seeds in fruits. ex. grasses, dandelion

Question 16

Pollination

Answer 16

when pollen transfers from male anther of flower to female stigma. this is a form of sexual rep.

Question 17

Cross pollination

Answer 17

the process of applying pollen from one flower to pistils of another flower with help of wind and insects.
