Sexual And Asexual Reproduction Flashcards
Reproduction involves
Various kinds of cell division
Most singled cell and some multicellular organism produce
Asexually
In asexual reproduction the offspring is (blank) to the parent
Identical
Organisms that produce an offspring are called
Parents
Each new organism is called an
Offspring
Prokaryotes, including bacteria, reproduce (how)
Cell division
Some eukaryotes, including many multicellular organisms, reproduce asexually by more complex processes—types of cell division called
Mitosis
(What) is the form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes.
Binary fission
(What) occurs when a bud grows on an organism and develops into a full-sized organism.
Budding
(What) is the result of mitosis.
Budding
A (what) is a specialized cell that can survive harsh conditions.
Spore
Some plants can reproduce asexually by (what)
Vegetative reporoduction
Most multicellular organisms can reproduce
Sexually
In (what), two parents each contribute a sex cell to the new organism.
Sexual reporoduction
Males produce sex cells called
Sperm cells
Females produce sex cells called
Eggs
Sex cells are produced by
Meiosis
Sex cells have (how much) of the set of genetic material found in body cells.
Half
A sperm and an egg join together in a process called
Fertilization
When an egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, a new cell, called a (what), is formed. It has a full set of genetic material.
Zygote
