Question
Answer
Types of Asexual Reproduction   Budding, Fission, Fragmentation, regeneration  
🗑
Advantages of Asexual Reproduction   Animals living in isolation can reproduce, Enables organisms to produce many offspring in a short time, stable environment ideal for successful genotype to produce precisely.  
🗑
Reproductive Cycles   Occur to allow organisms time to conserve energy for reproduction  
🗑
Reproduction Cycles   Controlled by hormones  
🗑
Reproductive Cycle Triggers   Hormonal and environmental cues  
🗑
Environmental cues   Temperature, Day length, lunar cycles, rainfall  
🗑
Parthenogenesis   Process by which an egg develops without being fertilized. Produces Haploid offspring  
🗑
Examples of parthenogenesis in species   Male honeybees, whiptail lizards  
🗑

🗑
sequential hermaphroditism   An individual reverses its sex during its lifetime.  
🗑
Examples of sequential hermaphroditism   Caribbean bluehead wrasse, oysters.  
🗑
Mechanisms of fertilization   internal fertilization, external fertilization.  
🗑
External fertilization needs   moist environment to keep gametes from drying out.  
🗑
External fertilization triggers   Environmental and behavioral  
🗑
Internal fertilization   Adaptation to terrestrial life, because it enables gametes to meet when the environment is dry.  
🗑
Pheromones   chemical signals that are released to attract a mate.  
🗑
