TermDefinition
Asexual Reproduction Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only
Binary Fission is the division of a single entity into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts to separate entities resembling the original
Budding Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site
Fragmentation/Regeneration Fragmentation in multi cellular organisms is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments
Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction is a type of life cycle where generations alternate between cells with a single set of chromosomes and cells with a double set of chromosomes
Internal Fertilization Internal fertilization is the union of an egg cell with a sperm during sexual reproduction inside the body of a parent. For this to happen there needs to be a method for the male to introduce the sperm into the female's reproductive tract
External Fertilization External fertilization is a mode of reproduction in which a male organism's sperm fertilizes a female organism's egg outside of the female's body
Angiosperms A plant that has flowers and produces seeds enclosed within a carpel

Stamen The male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament
Stigma The stigma is the sticky stem of the pistil of the female reproductive system in a plant
Style It is a long, slender stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary
Ovary Enlarged basal portion of the pistil, the female organ of a flower
Pistil The female organs of a flower, comprising the stigma, style, and ovary
