| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Sexual reproduction | The process of reproduction involving two parents that combine their genetic material to produce genetically unique offspring. |
| Asexual reproduction | A type of reproduction that requires only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring. |
| Mitosis | A type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, used for growth and repair. |
| Fragmentation | A form of asexual reproduction where an organism splits into pieces, each of which grows into a new organism. |
| Budding – A type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism grows off the body of the parent. | |
| Parthenogenesis | A form of reproduction where an egg develops into an organism without fertilization. |
| Fertilization | The union of a sperm cell and an egg cell to form a zygote. |
| Internal fertilization | Fertilization that occurs inside the female’s body. |
| External fertilization | Fertilization that occurs outside the body, usually in water. |
| Development | The process by which an organism grows and matures. |
| Chromosome | A structure in the nucleus that contains genetic material (DNA). |
| Haploid | A cell with half the normal number of chromosomes, such as sperm or egg cells. |
| Diploid | A cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. |
| Gamete | A reproductive cell (sperm or egg) that carries half the genetic material of an organism. |
| Daughter cells | The two identical cells produced after mitosis. |
| Cell division | The process by which a cell divides into two or more cells. (Mitosis) |
| Genetic material | DNA and associated molecules that contain an organism’s genetic information. |
| Ovaries | The female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones. |
| Testes | The male reproductive organs that produce sperm and testosterone. |
| Fallopian tubes | Tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. |
| Vas deferens | The duct that transports sperm from the testes to the urethra. |
| Uterus | The organ where fertilized eggs implant and develop into a fetus. |
| Ovulation | The release of an egg from the ovary. |
| Menstrual cycle | The monthly cycle of changes in the female reproductive system that prepares the body for pregnancy. |
| Placenta | The organ that provides nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus. |
| Implantation | The process where a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining. |
