Science Reproduction
Plants and Animals Reproduction Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Asexual reproduction | Offspring is created from a single organism (parent) and are exact copies of that parent |
| Binary Fission | Divide into two identical cells |
| Budding | Offspring grows out of the parent’s body. Not an equal dividing like binary fission |
| Fragmentation/Regeneration | Offspring from out of broken off pieces of the parent |
| Sexual reproduction | The genetic information from two parents is combined to create offspring with unique genetic traits |
| Internal Fertilization | Fertilization (egg + sperm) occurs within the female usually |
| External Fertilization | Fertilization occurs outside the female in a watery medium |
| Angiosperms | Flowering Plant |
| Petals | Attract Pollinators, protect the inner structure |
| Sepal | To protect and support the flower, keep from drying out |
| Stem | Provide support, transport, water, and nutrients, store water and food |
| Anther | Produces Pollen (Sperm) |
| Figment | Stalk that holds anther up |
| Stamen | Male Parts |
| Sigma | Sticky part where pollen sticks |
| Style | Stalk that supports the stigma |
| Ovary | Where fertilization occurs (pollen + egg = seed), seeds are turned into fruit |
| Pistil | Female Parts |
| Pollination | Hummingbirds, Birds, Bats, Butterflies, and Bees. Pollinators are attracted by nectar. Pollen attaches to the pollinator and brushes the sticky stigma. |
