what is reproduction

the process of parents producing new individuals

Development

the changes in body form and shape in the course of an organism's life

growth

Becoming larger and changing

Metamorphosis

changing form referring to changes in structure that happen as an organism develops into an adult

Sexual reproduction

Needs two parents

Asexual reproduction

Needing only one parent, means without sex

sexual reproduction

happens when a sperm from a male and a egg from a female join together in a process called fertilisation

Fertilisation

When sperm from a male and a egg from a female join together

zygote

A new cell resulting from fertilisation

Fruit

A structure in which seeds develope in plants

Fruit

remains of the ovary, plus all the seeds it contains

A seed

a capsule containing a new plant

A embryo

a seed capsule containing a new plant


 

Stigma

Site for pollen to be deposited

petal

Coloured parts that attract animals to allow pollination

Anther

produces pollen that contains the male gamete

Filament

holds the anther

sepal

covers the flower in the bud and protects it

ovule

the name for the egg in plants

flower stalk

supports and displays the flower

germination

the process of the embryo sprouting out of the seed

Exernal fertilisation

takes place outside the body such as fish fertilising eggs in water

internal fertilisation

Takes place inside the body, all land animals this type of fertilisation.

Copulation

the act of joining together of the male and female to transfer sperm

Development

the process in which the new individual changes to look like others of its type

Asexual reproduction

occurs when new indificula grows from part of the parent's body, doesn't invold sperm or eggs

Sexual reproduction

produces offspring that are different from each other, to help them survive in a changing environment

hermaphrodites

animals that have both male and female sex organs

cross fertilisation

the process of both animals passing sperm to each other and each having its eggs fertilised by the other

Cross-fertilisation

common in flowering plants

Avoid self fertilisation

by having the stigma mature at different times

female reproduction system

has the role of producing a baby

eggs or ova

produced in the ovaries

ovaries

Release only one ovum (egg) a month.

follicle

a capsule in which the female egg forms

fallopian tubes or oviducts

tubes down which the egg passes on its way to the uterus

fallopian tube

the place where the egg meets the sperm and becomes fertislised

Testes

the sperm are produced in here

Testes

also know as testicles

scrotum

a sac that contains the teste

sperm duct

a hollow tube through which the sperm leaves the body

semen

This is a mixture of sperm and other fluids

Urethra

the place through which sperm passes out of the body

Puberty

refers to the time in a person's life when they become able to reproduce

Puberty for boys

occurs when fertile sperm is able to be produced

Puberty for girls

is when the first ovulation occurs

testosterone

hormone that increases in males during puberty

FSH and LH

hormones that causes an increase in estrogen

Biosecurity

preventing pest and disease organism from entering our country

development

changes in body form and shape in an organism's life

Egg

female cell that must be fertilised to sart a life cycle

growth

an increase in body size

Imago

the adult stage in an insect life cyce (complete metaphorphosis)

larva

the second stage in an insect life cycle (complete metaphorphosis)

life cycle

the changes that happen to an indiviual from its formation until it has produced offspring similar to it

Metamorphosis

the changes in structure that happen as an organism develops into an adult

nymph

the stage of an insect life cycle that gradually develops into the adult without becoming a pupa (incomplete metamorphosis)

pupa

the stage in an insect lifecycle when the larva changes into an imago (complete metamorphosis)

reproduction

the process of parents producing new individuals or offspring

Anther

the part of the flower that produces the pollen

Asexual reproduction

a new individual growing from part of its one parents body with no joining of gametes

copulation

two individuals joining to allow gametes to becoming fertilised

cross fertilisation

when gametes from two separate individuals join together

development

the process by which the cell fromed by fertilisation divides and develops to begin to look like an adult

embryo

a developing offspring at a very early stage of development

fertilisation

the joining of gametes

flower

the reproductive structure in plants that makes male sex cells and female sex cells

fruit

the structure that the ovary of a flowering plant tyurns into as the seeds ripen

germination

when the young growing plant sprouts out of the seed

hermaphrodite

an individual with both male and female sex organs

parthenogenesis

where offspring develop from eggs that have not been fertilised by a male gamete. A form of asexual reproduction

pollination

transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma

self-fertilisation

when gamates from the same indiviual join together

sexual reproduction

 the process of a sperm and an egg joining together and then growing into a new individual

stigma

the flower part that receives the pollen

style

connects the stigma to the ovary

zygote

the first cell of the new individual after fertilisation

cervix

part of the uterus that keeps it closed while the baby is developing

fallopian tubes (oviducts)

tubes down which the egg passes and where fertilisation occurs

hormones

chemicals made in the body to control reproduction and physical characteristics

implantation

process of the blastocyst burrowing into the lining of the uterus

menstrual cycle

regular monthly changes in the hormones and reproductive organs of adult females

menstruation

blood and tissue loss from the lining of the uterus at the start of a menstrual cycle

ovaries

organs that produce the eggs or ova`

Ovulation

the egg bursting out of the follicle

period

shedding of blood and dead tissue fromt he lining of the uterus

puberty

the time in life when physical changes bring sexual materity

semen

a mixture of sperm and other fluid released from the penis

sperm duct

tube carrying sperm from the testes to the urethra

testes

male organs that produce the sperm

uterus (womb)

organ in which the fetus grows and develops

vagina
