Heredity Unit 1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Asexual reproduction | Offspring are created from one parent and are an exact copy of the parent. |
Binary fission | Divide into two identical cells |
Budding | An offspring grows out of the parent's body. Not an equal dividing like binary fission. |
Fragmentation/Regeneration | Offspring form out of broken off pieces of the parent. Who: Coral, starfish, worms, plants |
Sexual reproduction | The genetic information from two parents is combined to create offspring with unqiue genetic traits. |
Internal fertilization | Fertilization (egg+sperm) occurs within the femal*except seahorses |
External fertilization | Fertilization occurs outside the female in a watery medium |
Angiosperms | Flowering plant |
Petals | Attract pollinators, protect inner structures |
Sepal | To protect and support flower, keep from drying out |
Stem | Provide support; transport water and nutrients, store water and food |
Anther | Produces pollen (sperm) |
Filament | Stalk holds anther up |
Stamen | Filament and stalk (male part) |
Stigma | Sticky part where pollen sticks |
Style | Stalk that supports the stigma |
Ovary | Where fertilization occurs (pollen and egg equal seed), seeds are formed, turned into fruit |
Pistil | Female parts |
Pollination | Hummingbirds, birds, bats, butterflies, and bees Pollinators are attracted by the nectar Pollen attaches to pollinator and brushes the sticky stigma |
