Egg cell A female reproductive cell in a plant or animal
Embryo The undeveloped stage of a plant or animal. Examples: a plant that has not germinated; a baby chick that has not hatched
Fertilization The union of a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell to form a cell that will develop into a new individual
Filament The stalk of a stamen
Genetics The science of heredity
Germination Starting to grow or develop; sprouting
Ovary The enlarged lower part of a pistil and is the reproductive organ that produces egg cells. It encloses the ovules or young seeds

Sperm cell A male reproductive cell in a plant or animal
Stamen The male part of the flower generally composed of an anther and filament
Stigma The top of the pistil of a flower
Style A part of the pistil of a flower that extends from the ovaries to the stigma
Chromosome Rod-shaped parts of a cell that carry the genes (the hereditary material)
Gene The unit of DNA which carries inherited traits
Meiosis Cell division which takes place in the reproductive cells and which produce new cells with half the number of chromosomes
Mitosis Cell division whereby new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Example: Cell division for repair
Nucleus The part of a cell that contains the DNA molecule and controls cell activities
