| Binary Fission | Single-celled organisms divide into two identical cells |
| Budding | an offspring grows out of the parents body. Not an equal dividing like |
| Fragmentation/Regeneration | offspring form 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. |
| External Fertilization | Fertilization occurs outside the female in a watery medium |
| Angiosperms | Flowering plant |
| Petals | Attract pollinators, protect inner structures |
| Sepal | To protect & support flower, keep from drying out |
| Stem | provide support; transport water & nutrients, store water and food |
| Stamen | Filament & stalk (male part) |
| Anther | produces pollen (sperm) |
| Filament | stalk holds anther up |
| Pistil | Female parts |
| Stigma | sticky part where pollen sticks |
| Style | Stalk that supports the stigma |
