|
gametes |
a mature haploid male or female germ cell which can unite with another of the opposite sex |
|
|
sexual reproduction |
the production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types |
|
|
asexual reproduction |
reproductive processes (as cell division, spore formation,fission, or budding) that do not involve the union of individuals or gametes |
|
|
offspring |
a person's child or children. |
|
|
fertilisation |
the action or process of fertilizing an egg or a female animal or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. |
|
|
internal fetilisation |
internal fertilization takes place inside the female after insemination through copulation. |
|
|
external fertilisation |
a strategy of fertilization in which a sperm cell unites with an egg cell in the open, rather than inside specialized organs within the bodies of the parents |
|
|
zygote |
a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum. |
|
|
pregnancy |
the condition or period of being pregnant |
|
|
gestation |
the process or period of developing inside the womb between conception and birth |
|
|
oviduct |
the tube through which an ovum or egg passes from an ovary. |
|
|
hermaphrodites |
a person or animal having both male and female sex organs |
|
|
parathenogenesis |
reproduction from an ovum without fertilization |
|
|
fragmentation |
Fragmentation or clonal fragmentation in multi cellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning in which an organism is split into fragments. |
|
|
self pollination |
the pollination of a flower by pollen from the same flower or from another flower on the same plant. |
|
|
cross pollination |
The transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ (an anther or a male cone) of one plant to the female reproductive organ (a stigma or a female cone) of another plant. |
|
|
carpel |
the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an ovary, a stigma, and usually a style. It may occur singly or as one of a group. Also known as the pistil |
|
|
pollination |
The transfer of pollen from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or of another flower |
|
|
anther |
the part of a stamen that contains the pollen. |
|
|
stamen |
the male fertilizing organ of a flower, typically consisting of a pollen-containing anther and a filament. |
|
|
filament |
the stalk of a stamen of a flower, supporting the anther. |
|
|
sepals |
each of the parts of the calyx of a flower, enclosing the petals and typically green and leaf-like. |
|
|
stigma |
The pollen-receptive surface of a carpel |
|
|
style |
An elongated part of a carpel, between the ovary and the stigma |
|
|
ovary |
the hollow base of the carpel of a flower, containing one or more ovules |
|
|
ovule |
the part of the ovary of seed plants that contains the female germ cell and after fertilization becomes the seed. |
|
|
monocots |
are plants whose seeds typically contain only one seed leaf |
|
|
diocots |
a flowering plant with an embryo that bears two seed leaves |
