| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is reproduction? | The biological process by which organisms produce offspring to continue the species. |
| What is development? | The series of changes an organism undergoes from conception to maturity. |
| Define asexual reproduction. | Production of offspring from one parent without gamete fusion. |
| Define sexual reproduction. | Production of genetically diverse offspring through fusion of sperm and egg. |
| What is binary fission? | A parent divides into two equal parts forming two individuals. |
| What is budding? | A new organism grows from a small outgrowth on the parent. |
| What is fragmentation? | A parent breaks into pieces that each grow into new individuals. |
| What is vegetative propagation? | Asexual reproduction where new plants grow from stems, roots, or leaves. |
| What is parthenogenesis? | Development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg. |
| What is internal fertilization? | Fertilization occurring inside the female reproductive tract. |
| What is external fertilization? | Gametes are released into the environment where fertilization occurs. |
| What is pollination? | Transfer of pollen from anther to stigma. |
| What is the sporophyte generation? | Diploid plant generation that produces spores by meiosis. |
| What is the gametophyte generation? | Haploid plant generation that produces gametes by mitosis. |
| What is a pollen grain? | The male gametophyte of flowering plants. |
| What is an ovule? | Structure in the ovary containing the female gametophyte. |
| What is the stamen? | Male reproductive part of a flower (anther + filament). |
| What is the pistil? | Female reproductive part of a flower (stigma, style, ovary). |
| What is fertilization in plants? | Fusion of sperm and egg inside the ovule forming a zygote. |
| What is a seed? | Structure containing the embryo, food supply, and protective coat. |
