| fertilization | the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell to produce a new organism |
| 4 kinds of asexual reproduction | splitting, budding, unfertilized eggs, vegetative propagation |
| splitting | one cell splits into two; ex. bacteria & protists |
| budding | small part of parent's body grows into complete organism; ex. cnidarians, sponges, some fungi |
| unfertilized eggs | eggs develop into new organism without fertilization; ex. drone bees |
| vegetative propagation | reproduction in plants that produce new plants from leaves, roots, or stems called runners |
| advantages of sexual & asexual reproduction | asexual--convenience sexual--variety in a species |
| life cycle | a series of differing stages of development |
| complete flower | a flower with all 4 main parts (petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils) |

| alternation of generations | alternation of generations |

| monocot | a plant that produces seeds with just 1 cotyledon; usually has parallel veins and petals in groups of 3 |
| dicot | a plant that produces seeds with 2 cotyledons; usually has branched veins and petals in groups of 4 or 5 |
| germination | the development of a seed into a new plant |
| imperfect flower | imperfect flower |
| imperfect flower | has both stamens and pistil; may be complete or incomplete |
| conifer | gymnosperm that produces "naked" seeds not in flowers but cones |
| gymnosperm that produces "naked" seeds not in flowers but cones | wind, water, animals, eaten fruit |
